Evening Ensemble | Callot Soeurs | c. 1910 Rita de Acosta Lydig (1880-1929), a noted beauty and style icon of the early twentieth century, owned this garment attributed to Callot Soeurs. A great admirer and collector of lace, de Acosta Lydig favored simple silhouettes which she paired with lace vests or jackets. De Acosta Lydig’s preference for bifurcated garments, which were commonly worn by women in 1910, indicates her idiosyncratic taste in dress.
