Decoration was kept to a minimum, with graphic impact favoured over fine detail. \r\n\r\nPoiret's success was short-lived, as his influence did not last beyond the 1910s. Although he continued designing into the 1920s and created  gowns for Liberty's in 1933, he failed to recapture the success and notoriety he had enjoyed in the 1910s.","physicalDescription":"Colour print showing a portrait of a woman wearing a spotted yellow turban-style headdress ornamented with jewels and a large feather.
