EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fan made for Parisian couturier Madame Paquin in 1912. Created by renowned artist Georges Barbier, this colour litho artwork captures the essence of the Belle Époque era with its ornate and decorative design. The fan depicts a scene titled "Femmes à la Toilette" which translates to "Women at the Dressing Table". It portrays two elegantly dressed women engrossed in their grooming rituals, surrounded by classical elements and luxurious furnishings. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on their gowns to the delicate accessories adorning their hair. Jeanne Paquin, a prominent figure in French fashion during that time, commissioned this fan as a testament to her impeccable taste and style. It symbolizes her influence as a trendsetter and highlights her commitment to creating exceptional couture pieces. Barbier's illustration perfectly captures the spirit of early 20th-century fashion and serves as an important historical artifact. This piece not only celebrates French culture but also reflects scientific advancements in botany and natural history through its inclusion of fruit motifs. Displayed at Musee de la Mode et du Costume in Paris, France, this print is a testament to timeless elegance and serves as an inspiration for contemporary designers seeking to pay homage to past eras while pushing boundaries in modern fashion.
