Artist Georges Barbier’s extravagant theater costumes gave flamboyance an entirely new meaning. Barbier (1882 – 1932), who illustrated several renowned French fashion magazines, turned the publications into tools that defined the clothing women chose to wear. His outlandish work flourished during the Art Nouveau movement, when he designed lavish costumes for entertainers such as the Folies Bergères, and created the entire wardrobe for the Rudolph Valentino movie, “Monsieur Beaucaire.” Today’s Vegas floor shows, major designers and costumers throughout the world are still inspired by Barbier’s dazzling work.
