THE BOUDOIR ART

Amalia Russiello is one of the very few boudoir artists of our time.
By boudoir art we mean a real art form that began in the early 1900s that focuses on and celebrates female beauty in all its forms. In Paris from 1910s Boudoir Art was at the height of its popularity so much so that it invested fashion and newspapers used illustrators who took care of advertising new products and clothes. The women of the new century were very different, with different needs and ambitions for this they needed role models who represented their new needs. At the beginning of the century movements for women's rights were born, women who loudly claimed equality with men in every area of social life and precisely these chic Parisian women of the beginning of the century became an example for the entire world: the flappers.
This new provocative and chic woman represents a break with the canons of the past, perfectly representing the new needs of an entire world of women freed from the restrictions of the Victorian era: in Boudoir Art were represented women who smoked in public, for the first time in history with hair a la garçonne, dresses with deep necklines, they danced bare-legged and  chose their lovers only for their pleasure.
The women of Boudoir Art of the beginning of the century do not represent ideals far from those of real women of the beginning of the century, they were real women and for this reason they were admired by women from all over the world on the pages of glossy magazines, in advertising and in the cinema. For the first time women felt represented.

This is precisely the Boudoir Art that Madame Dabi Boudoir wants to reclaim: a representation of modern and free women.
