Madeleine Vionnet (1876—1975) was a French fashion designer and couturier. She was greatly known to be an artisan in draping fabric directly onto the body to create a flattering silhouette. Her work leaned towards determining the invigorating relationship between a feminine garment and a woman's body with a special pursuit of athletic physique.

Her expertise in fashion designing was never diminished—she was praised for her meticulously cut designs and the choice of high-quality fabric to compliment her work. Madeleine's streamlined clothing lines revolutionized how women perceived evening dresses.
