Redfern suit and rugby players 1914
Summary
Woman wearing a pre-sportswear tailored costume in conversation with two rugby players. The woman's costume is by John Redfern, who was probably the first couturier to make clothing specifically for sport, and whose sports clothing became adopted as everyday wear by his clients in a precursor of what would become American sportswear (as distinct from active wear).
George Barbier is one of the defining artist-illustrators of Art Deco, the school of visual arts, architecture and design that took its name – an abbreviation for Arts Décoratifs – from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. Born into a well-to-do family in Nantes in western France, Barbier studied at the Ecole Régionale du Dessin et des Beaux-Arts and made his entrance into the Nantes art.
