Madeleine Vionnet 自認 媲美巴甫洛娃（Pavlova）的藝術家，哪位Pavlova？
ENCOUNTER
The association of haute couture with the very rich makes it suspect for many people. But for Madame Vionnet, who once was a penniless, couture is not a minor art. Like the dance it is a evanescent art, but a great one. She sees herself as an artist on the level of, say, Pavlova. ~~ Bruce Chatwin (1940~1989) 的Madeleine Vionnet一文，出自 WHAT AMI DOING HERE 一書
高級時裝與富人的連結讓許多人感到懷疑。但對於曾經身無分文的Vionnet女士，時裝設計並不是一門小藝術。就像舞蹈一樣，它是一門轉瞬即逝的藝術，但卻是一門偉大的藝術。 她認為自己是一位可以與巴甫洛娃（Pavlova）媲美的藝術家。
黑體字段，中譯本(p.110)完全錯了，錯得離譜(把Pavlova搞成奶油蛋白餅)，不如上述的Google 翻譯。
但是，Madeleine Vionnet 自認 媲美巴甫洛娃（Pavlova）的藝術家，哪位Pavlova？
前文提到舞蹈，所以合理猜識與卓別林合影過的芭雷舞名家Anna Pavlovna Pavlova(1881年2月12日 - 1931年1月26日)

Madeleine Vionnet (pronounced [ma.də.lɛn vjɔ.ne]; June 22, 1876, Loiret, France – March 2, 1975) was a French fashion designer best known for being the “pioneer of the bias cut dress”,[1][2] Vionnet trained in London before returning to France to establish her first fashion house in Paris in 1912. Although it was forced to close in 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War, it re-opened after the war and Vionnet became one of the leading designers of 1920s-30s Paris. Vionnet was forced to close her house again in 1939 at the start of the Second World War and she retired in 1940.[2]
Madeleine Vionnet（發音為[ma.də.lɛn vjɔ.ne]；1876 年6 月22 日，法國盧瓦雷- 1975 年3 月2 日）是法國時裝設計師，因「斜裁連身裙的先驅」而聞名，[1 ][2] Vionnet 在倫敦接受培訓，然後返回法國，於1912 年在巴黎建立了她的第一家時裝店。雖然該公司於1914 年因第一次世界大戰爆發而被迫關閉，但在戰後重新開業，Vionnet 成為20 世紀 20 年代至 30 年代巴黎的頂尖設計師之一。 1939 年第二次世界大戰開始時，Vionnet 被迫再次關閉她的房子，並於 1940 年退休。
Anna Pavlova (1881-1931), one of the most celebrated and influential ballet dancers of her time, is captured in this stunning portrait from around 1911-1912. Known for her delicate yet powerful performances, Pavlova revolutionized the art of ballet with her emotive and expressive style. She became famous worldwide for her interpretation of "The Dying Swan," a role that remains iconic in the history of dance.
Pavlova’s dedication to her craft and her natural talent helped her to break barriers for women in the arts. Born in Russia, she trained at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg and went on to perform with the renowned Mariinsky Ballet. Her international fame grew as she toured across Europe, America, and beyond, performing in major cultural capitals and captivating audiences with her grace and technical precision.
Throughout her career, Pavlova’s commitment to ballet and her artistry left a lasting legacy on the world of dance. Even after her death in 1931, she continued to inspire generations of dancers, and her name remains synonymous with the beauty and emotional depth that ballet can convey. This portrait captures her poise and the elegance for which she was so well known, marking her as one of the true legends of classical ballet.
