The most famous dress created by Mariano Fortuny and his wife and muse Henriette Nigrin is the "Delphos" gown, very popular among avant garde women of the 1920s and '30s like Sarah Bernhardt and Isadora Duncan. It is a finely pleated silk dress inspired by the classical Greek statue, the Charioteer of Delphi.
