| Sumario: | [eng] This article examines the relationship between the dancer Isadora Duncan and fashion in the early twentieth century, analyzing how her minimalist aesthetic—light tunics, semi-transparent veils, and bare feet inspired by Graeco-Roman classical iconography—represented both an artistic and ideological statement in opposition to the conventions of classical dance and contemporary fashion. The author situates Duncan within the broader artistic context of the period, tracing her connections with influential designers such as Paul Poiret and Mariano Fortuny as well as the Liberty movement, and demonstrates how Duncan transformed dress—both on and off stage—into a means of expressing her artistic philosophy and personal ideology. |
