Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 9: -PIERRETTE. 1925

This fashion plate – Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 9: -PIERRETTE. – by G-P. Joumard, is a vision of a flapper in a polka-dot dress. I can imagine the artist's hand moving quickly to capture this fleeting vision of Parisian chic. The colours are muted – creams, blacks, and blush – giving it a soft and romantic quality. The dress is everything – a symphony of dots and ribbons. You can imagine Joumard thinking about colour, texture, and form as they lay down each stroke. The surface of the dress looks smooth, the effect is delicate. It’s like the artist is thinking, "How can I capture the essence of modern beauty and playfulness?" There’s a conversation between decoration and the female form, and how they come together to reflect not just style but a particular cultural moment. These kinds of images have influenced fashion design and illustration. Ultimately, it’s about how we inspire each other across time and space.
