Another look at the genius of Paul Poiret. This dress is from 1923 and Poiret called it "Caucase". In English, that translates to "Caucasus", which is a region between the Black and Caspian Seas that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia. That fabric definitely has an Asian influence, doesn't it?
