Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Pl. 15.- PAGODE 1925

G-P. Joumard created this print titled ‘Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Pl. 15. - PAGODE’. The image presents a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the Art Deco movement. This was a period characterized by dramatic social and political change, especially for women, after the First World War. The models are adorned in garments that reflect the era's embrace of luxury and modernity. Yet, beneath the surface of elegance, there's an undercurrent of the complex societal dynamics surrounding femininity and consumerism. Fashion in the 1920s became a powerful tool for women to express their evolving identities. These clothes allow us to consider the aspirations, as well as the constraints, shaping women's lives during this transformative period. How did the commercial and artistic worlds meet to produce new ideals for women's identity?
