Lanvin, Beer, Lanvin
1920
Step into the glamorous world of 1920s Paris with this fashion plate from the legendary Gazette du Bon Ton, essentially the high-art version of Vogue for the elite. Fernand Siméon captures the essence of the era with four stylish models sporting designs by Jeanne Lanvin and the furrier Jacques Beer. Notice the luxurious fur trims and the shift towards looser, modern silhouettes that defined the Roaring Twenties, moving away from the restrictive corsets of the past. These illustrations were often hand-colored using the pochoir stencil technique, making each page a collectible piece of art rather than just a catalog entry.
