Madame Grès

Madame Alix Grès' career spanned five decades and throughout them all she excelled in her ability to manipulate fabric and use its innate characteristics to enhance her designs. Known for her classically inspired, draped and pleated silk jersey evening gowns, which she first produced in the 1930s, Grès experimented with silk taffeta in the 1970s and 1980s.
