Très Parisien, 1926, No. 1, Pl. 3: Modèles des TISSUS D'ART - LUNAIRE 1926

G-P. Joumard's "Très Parisien, 1926, No. 1, Pl. 3: Modèles des TISSUS D'ART - LUNAIRE" is a print showcasing fabric designs, capturing the essence of Parisian fashion during the interwar period. Fashion plates like these reveal much about the cultural landscape of the 1920s, particularly the evolving role of women. The flapper style embodied a sense of liberation and modernity, with shorter hemlines and looser silhouettes challenging traditional notions of femininity. This print signifies the commercialization and democratization of fashion, as new styles became more accessible to a wider audience through mass media and ready-to-wear clothing. Joumard's illustration taps into the desire for self-expression and individuality, even within the constraints of societal expectations. "Très Parisien" invites us to reflect on the complexities of identity and the power of fashion to both shape and reflect our ever changing society.
