This is G-P. Joumard’s “Très Parisien, juin 1922: 2 (Spécimen gratuit) - CANARI,” made in 1922. It is evocative of the fashion and cultural shifts of the interwar period in Paris. The image captures a pivotal moment in the history of fashion, reflecting the evolving role of women in society. With its sleek silhouette and bold color, the design embodies the spirit of modernity and liberation that defined the 1920s. The ‘garçonne’ look – the bobbed hair and looser fitting garments were indicative of a move away from more restrictive, Edwardian styles, mirroring women's changing roles and increasing independence. This print encapsulates the vibrancy of Paris as a global fashion capital, while subtly highlighting the socio-cultural transformations that redefined gender and identity in the aftermath of World War I. The stylish image mirrors the emotional pulse of a generation eager to embrace change and express themselves through fashion.
