Much like other designers that I’ve covered for Style File Friday, there are not a lot

of easily
available sources on Madeleine Vionnet. There are out of print books available, but most of them
are over $125 CAD (secondhand). Please let me know if you’ve read any books and have
recommendations!

You can visit this article by the V&A, “Four haute couture dresses by Madeleine Vionnet” here.

Betty Kirke has a fantastic article, “Dressmaker Extraordinaire: Discovering the Secrets of
Madeleine Vionnet’s creativty” that you can find here.

If you are interested in reading some of my other Style History profiles, you can find them

Lanvin!)
