The Delphos gown is a finely pleated silk dress first created in about 1907 by French designer Henriette Negrin (1877 - 1965) and her husband, Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (1871–1949). Negrin was the designer; Fortuny filed the patent for the manufacturing method in his own name, while crediting her in the application.
Their dresses are seen as fine works of art today and many survive, still pleated, in museums and personal collections. In Paris, Fortuny garments were retailed by Babani, who sold Delphos dresses and other garments to the actress Eleonora Duse. [9] In 2012, the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute in New York City mounted an exhibition of his work. [10]
Henriette Fortuny wearing Fortuny garments, including the pleated Delphos gown she designed. Portrait by Mariano Fortuny (1935), Musée Fortuny, Venice. (Adèle) Henriette Negrin, (or Nigrin), born on October 4, 1877, in Fontainebleau, died in 1965 in Venice, was a French clothes-designer and textile artist.
Designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the gorgeous pleated silk gown (which took 500 hours to make!!!) is embroidered with “Millefiori” flowers — which are all hand panted, printed and embroidered.
In about 1907, some ten years after the discovery of the Charioteer, Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo, a Spanish artist-designer based in Venice, created a finely pleated silk dress that he named the Delphos gown after the statue, whose robes it closely resembled.
For his dress designs he conceived a special pleating process and new dyeing techniques. He patented his process in Paris on 4 November 1910. [5] He gave the name Delphos to his long, clinging sheath dresses that undulated with color, so called because it emulated the dress of the bronze statue of the Charioteer of Delphi.
