Jardin du Luxembourg, 1895

These elegant ladies at the Jardin du Luxembourg were at the forefront of fashion, so rare was it in 1895 for women’s wear to be presented outdoors rather than in workshops. Coco Chanel would turn fashion photography on racecourses or on the decks of beach resorts into a common practice, but this was still several years away.
