"Cyclone" is a black evening dress created by grand couturier Jeanne Lanvin in 1939. It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Costume Institute). [1]
History
Lanvin's daughter Comtesse Jean de Polignac (née Marguerite di Pietro, also known as Marie-Blanche) wore this dress in 1939. [2]
The dress also has a detachable pocket that could be worn around the waist on a thin belt.
Variations
There is another version of this dress at the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin, Germany, which has an identical skirt but a different bodice. [3] Primary sources indicate that there was a pink version worn by the wife of the French ambassador to Britain, as well as another black version in the Palais Galliera in Paris, France. [4] [2] The black version in Paris also has the detachable pocket. [4]
