G-P. Joumard made this little image, Très Parisien, in 1925. It's giving me major fashion plate vibes, you know? Like, a snapshot of Parisian chic, probably made with some kind of print process, maybe a pochoir, judging by the clean lines and flat colors. I'm picturing Joumard sketching these flapper girls, trying to capture that 'effortless' elegance they were known for. That pink wrap dress is pretty genius, I think. I can imagine Joumard thinking, "How do I make something that looks thrown-together but is actually super stylish?" It’s all about that slouchy but still put-together look. And the colours—soft pinks and blues mixed with bolder accents—create such a nice harmony. I also love the way he implies volume and texture with just a few simple lines. And the little details—like the white heels and the way the dresses hang—make the whole image feel so alive. It reminds me of some of Erté's work, that same sense of playful sophistication. You can just tell that Joumard was totally into fashion and capturing the spirit of the times.
