Très Parisien 1925, No. 1, Pl. 1: Créations PREMET: Nuit de Grenad (...). 1925

G-P. Joumard created this print, entitled 'Très Parisien', in 1925, showcasing fashion designs by Premet. It offers a glimpse into the social codes of Parisian high society during the roaring twenties. Fashion in 1920s France played a crucial role in mirroring the cultural shifts of the time. The image presents two women in modern dresses with geometric patterns, characteristic of the Art Deco movement. These styles reflected a departure from traditional gender roles. The short hair and streamlined silhouettes were a deliberate contrast to the more restrictive fashions of the pre-war era. Magazines such as 'Très Parisien' acted as tastemakers, defining a modern, liberated image of women. To understand this image better, a social historian might examine fashion magazines, conduct research into the textile industry, and analyse social changes taking place in France at that time. These resources help us to interpret this image as a cultural document, offering insights into the values and aspirations of its time.
