Watching "Klimt," which has incredible fabrics in it - I could look at the fabrics all night. There are some remarkably cut clothes - gorgeous. The movie itself is enjoyable for the bringing to life streetscenes we've seen frozen in paintings from artists like Caillebote and crowded interiors familiar from old photographs. George Melies (star of youtube) is depicted, and of course Egon Schiele.
Not a great film but worth seeing, at least to me, as I've read the great books and seen the great artworks of that time and enjoy spending time in a director's vision of how it might have been. And I love seeing beautiful fabric.

Not the root, but certainly a kindred spirit and a forerunner. We could do an "Hommage a G. Melies" act and get sepia skins and clothing, though - I love time travel and it would be transcending barriers of time and space in a way, to bring G.M. to S.L. (where he'd feel quite at home I'm positive).
"Méliès did not grasp the value of his films, and with some 500 films recorded on cellulose, the French Army seized most of this stock to be melted down into boot heels during World War I."
It just shows an army marches on the artist's fancy, not on its stomach.
Sepia skins and meeting Georges Méliès - I'll drink to that!
