Très Parisien, 1925, No. 7, Pl. 18. - DEAUVILLE 1925

G-P. Joumard made "Très Parisien" in 1925, probably using watercolor and ink, to capture these kasha robes. I love how the flat planes of color create a world that's both chic and slightly unreal. Look at the way Joumard uses color, especially in the lavender dress and the pink roses. The colors aren’t blended; they’re laid down in simple, confident strokes. There's a real pleasure in seeing the shapes come together so directly. See how the shapes of the garments are defined by crisp lines with minimal shading, creating a sense of flatness, like paper dolls. This reminds me of Sonia Delaunay, who similarly took fashion and textile design as a form of artistic experiment. These artists show us that fashion can be a canvas, and that art can be as everyday as the clothes we wear. It’s all about seeing the world with fresh eyes and finding beauty in unexpected places.
