This fashion plate, titled "Très Parisien, 1927, No. 11," was made anonymously using what looks like watercolor and ink. I imagine the artist carefully layering washes of delicate pinks and beiges to render the fabrics of these elegant ensembles. I can see them, bent over their table, precisely hatching in the details, adding a touch of Art Deco flair with those stylized palm trees. It's got a charming naiveté and a clear sense of purpose, doesn't it? Someone trying to capture a feeling, a mood, a moment of Parisian chic. The flat planes of color and simplified forms remind me of other fashion plates from the time. The artist focuses on the design, the flow of the clothes, capturing the mood through color and shape. It's a little window into the past, reminding us that art and fashion are always in conversation, each one influencing the other. I am happy to see them together.
