Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Paul Poiret
Paul Poiret, a name synonymous with revolutionising early 20th-century fashion, wasn't just a designer; he was a theatrical impresario of style. Born in Paris in 1879, Poiret liberated women from the constraints of corsets, draping them in flowing fabrics inspired by the vibrant colours and exotic silhouettes of the Orient. Eschewing traditional tailoring, he embraced a more fluid, intuitive approach to dressmaking, directly influencing the Art Deco movement and setting the stage for modern fashion. Poiret's fascination with Orientalism wasn't merely aesthetic; it was a complete lifestyle. He hosted lavish, themed parties, transforming his home into an immersive experience of the East. His designs, including the 'lampshade dress' and the harem pant, were not just garments but statements, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards experimentation and freedom. He even established his own perfume line, Les Parfums de Rosine, named after his daughter, further cementing his status as a visionary entrepreneur. Despite his early success and influence, Poiret's star faded in the 1920s as simpler, more practical styles gained favour. However, his legacy remains undeniable. Paul Poiret's bold designs and innovative marketing strategies paved the way for future generations of designers, leaving an indelible mark on the history of fashion and its relationship with art.
