COVER STORY
If the Rabbit Head looks like a costume for a dancer in the Folies-Bergere,
it's because the artist Erté, who created it, also designed outfits for
the renowned Parisian extravaganza. Erté, an early practitioner of art
deco who recently celebrated his 94th birthday, once designed a costume for
the famous spy Mato Hari. This time, he's glamorizing the Mighty Hare.
