Left: The Countess Greffulhe was a pioneering fundraiser for the arts and a great supporter of Diaghilev\u2019s Ballets Russes. Leon Bakst\u2019s brilliantly colored dance costumes and sets inspired both fashion and interior design. The Countess\u2019s flowing robes and coats by Babani and Fortuny created a similarly exotic effect.

Right: After her daughter grew up, the Countess Greffulhe stopped wearing pink, which was associated with youth. However, she continued to wear green. The Japonism for which Babani was famous is exemplified by this green velvet evening coat with a kimono-like silhouette.
