Postcard painting by Mela Koehler
of a dress designed by Wimmer-Wisgrill
from a printed fabric designed by Kolomon Moser
for the Weiner Werkstatte
The Wiener Werkstätte, theViennese Workshop,
was about collaboration as the above
costume and painting show.
Wimmer-Wisgill primarily designed
clothing from fabrics by other Workshop artists.
A collaboration with Gustav Klimt?
The print in this New Year's card is attributed to him
but it seems he specialized in costume---
Sonja Knips in a print similar to the Wimmer-Wisgrill
stripe above, 1911.

Once more, this is a very interesting post! I recently went to Vienna and was amazed by Klimt and his friend Emilie Flöge, a great designer : http://quilteuseforever.wordpress.com/2014/06/29/le-dernier-atelier-de-klimt/
