Note: Erte was a Russian-born French artist and designer in a variety of field including fashion, jewellery, Graphic Arts, costume and set design. He is probably most famous for his elegant fashion designs which capture the mood of the Art Deco period. His delicate figures and sophisticated, glamorous designs are instantly recognisable, and his ideas and art still influence fashion into the 21st century. This is typical of his oeuvre - elegant, colourful and sophisticated.
