In the I920s, '30s, '40s and '50s the so-called Cafe Society in Europe drew together aristocrats, millionaires, artists, authors, couturiers, choreographers and musicians in a "glittering world of fashion and frivolity, opulence and ostentation"", notes Thierry Coudert in his book, Cafe Society: Socialites, Patrons and Artists 1920 to 1960. Those decades were the "apotheosis of an era that was to have a profound influence on the history of taste" "Cafe Society created a posthumous image of itself as a golden age, a paradise lost, in which nothing had more point than the pointless, nothing was more profound than the superficial, and elegance and an inimitable art de vivre took precedence over everything."

The ensemble of the Bronze figure was very typical of the time period. The most fashionable silhouette, or shape, for a woman's skirt from 1919 to 1929 was straight and knee length. The skirts of the decade hid women's feminine curves with loose waists and sashes hugging the hips. In Cafe Society, we see a sash hugging the hips, tasseled embellishments and the use of geometric shapes all combined on one dress.
