Morin-Blossier
French tailoring workshop, active in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the creations of which may be found in numerous museums today. The founders Victoire Morin and Marie Blossier moved to Paris from Vienna some time after 1878, and were at the height of their success between 1885 and 1905. They specialized in the clothing of the court, which was heavily influenced by the fashions of Middle Europe, and became tailors to Queen Maud of Norway, Queen Alexandra of England, Queen Margherita of Italy, Queen Alexandra of Denmark, and the Russian Tsarinas. The workshop closed down after World War I. (x)
Queen Maud of Norway
Queen Maud was renowned for her stylish dress. Daughter of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, she was born a princess and became Queen of Norway in 1905. She had exemplary taste and a strong interest in fashion, and her royal lifestyle required appropriate dress for every occasion. Her wardrobe includes a range of stunning creations dating from her wedding trousseau of 1896 to the latest House of Worth designs purchased just months before her death in 1938.
