Erté is famous for his elegant fashion designs which captured the art deco period in which he worked. His delicate figures and sophisticated designs are instantly recognizable, and his ideas continue to influence fashion into the 21st century. His costumes, program designs, and sets were featured in the many stage performances. In 1925, Louis B.
