Quite possibly the first patented fashion gown, Mariano Fortuny patented the world's Delphos gown from his office at the Palazzo d' Orfei in Venice.
The Delphos gown is a direct descendant of the classical Greek chiton. It was made in fine silks, dyed in effervescent colors, hand-pleated and it falls in a sleek column line from the shoulder to the heel.
Truly a classic modern design, 100 years later, the Delphos gown is still in fashion!
