In a photo from the Eberth studio, Berlin, the artist Lena Amsel can be seen in the costume shown in the design, which was created by the artist Gertrud Brandt. LENA AMSEL (1898-1929) was a Polish-French dancer and actress. She came from Jewish factory owners. In 1914 she moved to Dresden and in 1915 to Berlin. She sought contact with the greats from variety shows, film and theater. In 1916 she met Karl Gustav Vollmöller and Max Reinhardt at Café des Westens. Vollmöller became her lover and supporter for several years. In 1927 Lena Amsel moved to Paris and was best known for her dissolute private life. She died at the age of 31 near Paris as a result of an automobile accident during an impromptu race. GERTRUD BRANDT (1892-1964) was a master tailor, fashion designer and senior director of studies. From 1909 to 1915 she completed an apprenticeship as a seamstress, which she completed with a master's degree. 1912-15 Brandt studied at the Weimar School of Applied Arts. She then worked in the fashion department of the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), where she took over management of the WW branch in Zurich from Dagobert Peche in 1918 - until it closed in 1920. Gertrud Brandt was married to the painter and craftsman Walter Kornhas (1887-1940), with whom she ran the Kornhas-Brandt workshops in Konstanz (gravestone designs and weaving). From 1930 she was involved in setting up the fashion master school in Munich, which she directed from 1951-57. Gertrud Brandt created fashion and theater costumes for the WW, such as the paper dresses for the dancer Lena Amsel, who performed in Vienna in 1917/18. The material paper, which arose in the context of the war-related shortage of materials for clothing, was used artistically in such a way that crepe was sewn onto a textile surface in order to offer the dancer adequate freedom of movement. Brandt was probably the main designer of the fall 1918 and 1919 collections.
