Mariano Fortuny, a Spanish artist based in Venice, created \u201cunique\u201d garments made from marvelous fabrics that evoked for Proust \u201cthat Venice loaded with the gorgeous East.\u201d In Proust\u2019s novel, the Duchesse de Guermantes often wears Fortuny, and the narrator asks her about one such gown \u201cstreaked with gold like a butterfly\u2019s wing\u201d that seemed to have a special poetry. Soon he is bribing his mistress Albertine to stay with him, by buying her Fortuny gowns that \u201cswarmed with Arabic ornaments, like the Venetian palaces hidden like sultanas behind a screen of pierced stone.\u201d <\/div>\n
