VITALDI BABANI ROBE JAPONAISE WITH CRANES

Category:

Babani (1858-1940) 

Robe japonaise

Black silk, hand-embroidered cranes

France, c. 1920-1930

 

A remarkable robe japonaise by Babani, created in Paris between 1920 and 1930, rendered in sumptuous black silk crepe and animated with exquisitely hand-embroidered cranes in mid-flight. The composition preserves the kosode-derived silhouette that defined Babani’s Japoniste repertoire—complete with a softly padded hem, fluid sleeves, and internal ties intended for elegant, intimate wear. Through its fusion of Japanese iconography and Parisian couture sensibility, the piece embodies Babani’s gift for transforming luxury textiles into garments of poetic, modern refinement.
