The dressmaker Jeanne Paquin opened her fashion house on the rue du la Paix in 1891. The Maison Paquin quickly became known for its elegant evening gowns inspired by 18th-century dresses. Later Mme. Paquin gained a reputation as a modernist, even collaborating with such avant garde designers as Leon Bakst to create stage costumes. Jean Beraud painted several works featuring the Maison Paquin.
