LEPAPE, GEORGES. Les Choses de Paul Poiret.
LEPAPE, GEORGES. Les Choses de Paul Poiret. 12 pochoir-colored plates by Lepape of ladies in Poiret's fashionable dresses and accessories. Original boards, scattered soiling, covers slightly bowed, portions of spine and ends perished; some light foxing and offsetting, but plates generally bright and clean. Paris, 1911
- Notes: first edition of one of the great works by collaborators lepape and poiret. The enormously popular spring/summer 2007 exhibition of Poiret at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was the largest assemblage of his work in more than 30 years. Considered the father of modern fashion, Poiret shunned the confines of corsets and stormed the Paris fashion scene with unconstructed dresses in bold colors. Lepape and Paul Iribe, already well-known, hit their stride by collaborating with Poiret on advertising, package design, and fashion illustration. Colas 1837; Monod 9205.
- Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
