Dora Maar

Femme en vert (Dora), Pablo Picasso 1944


The dresses of the 1940s drew inspiration from patterns and cuts found in cubism, and I take this idea further with the “Dora Maar” dress. The design attempts to blend Dora Maar in her own right with the muse seen through the eyes of Picasso.


From cubism to reality
