  Drawing his inspiration from the Italian Renaissance and from antiquity, Mariano Fortuny dressed women in magnificent silken pleats dyed every imaginable colour, and sumptuous silk velvets cut to create enormous stoles, cloaks and medieval-style robes. His rich, romantic style made him popular with hundreds of famous clients, among them Isadora Duncan and Lilian and Dorothy Gish.
