Moorish Bath is an 1870 Orientalist genre painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme. It depicts a scene in a Turkish Bath somewhere in the Middle East, featuring a woman likely to be a Circassian and an African attendant. The painting was exhibited at the 1873 World Fair held in Vienna.Today it is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, having been acquired in 1924. A print based on the picture was produced by the engraver Charles Courtry in 1874. Inspired by his 1868 trip to Egypt, Gérôme produced a number of scenes of Oriental bathhouses over the next twenty years of which this was the first. These offered an opportunity to contrast a more exotic model with the traditional Academic nude. Another larger, similarly, themed-work Moorish Bath is now in the Rhode Island School of Design Museum.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (6 October 1887 – 27 August 1965), known as Le Corbusier, was a Swiss-French architectural designer, painter, urban planner and writer who was one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland to French-speaking Swiss parents, and acquired French nationality by naturalization in 1930. His career spanned five decades, in which he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, as well as North and South America. He considered that "the roots of modern architecture are to be found in Viollet-le-Duc." Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there, especially the government buildings. In 2016, seventeen projects by Le Corbusier in seven countries were inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement.

Haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted high-end fashion design. The term haute couture generally refers to a specific type of upper garment common in Europe during the 16th to the 18th century, or to the upper portion of a modern dress to distinguish it from the skirt and sleeves. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Paris became the centre of a growing industry that focused on making outfits from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable of sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Couture is also commonly used on its own as an abbreviation of haute couture, referring to the same concept in spirit.
