La mode pour le Printemps 1922

Printemps (Firm) · 1922 · 19 pictures

A 1922 fashion plate album issued by the Paris department store Printemps, showing women's clothing and accessories for the spring season. The plates are hand-coloured pochoir-style drawings with flat areas of violet, black, pink and cream on warm tan paper. A designer could take their stylised Art Deco silhouettes, geometric beaded borders and bold colour blocking for period-inspired graphics.
