This is a hand coloured and plate-signed
pochoir print from the book "Les Choses de Paul Poiret".
Poiret was the grand haute couture designer who
commissioned Lepape for this landmark book published
February 15, 1911. This was the first time in the history
of fashion illustration that the elements of movement and
drama were used to help feature the designer's work.
Poiret's two unique couture albums, in collaboration
with Iribe and Lepape, set the stage for the next 20
years - the golden age of fashion illustration - and
are today regarded as seminal pieces of Art Deco design.
