This pochoir print, 'Très Parisien, 1923, No 8' features two women in flapper dresses. The symmetrical composition and the linear graphic style create an impression of streamlined elegance. The dress on the left, in shades of brown and mauve, has intricate floral patterns. The dress on the right contrasts with a block of green, trimmed with geometric designs. These dresses exemplify the aesthetic of the Art Deco era, evoking a sense of modernity and sophistication. The cool colour palette is restrained to the page's edges, creating a minimalist, geometric framework that destabilises any conventional reading of beauty. The pochoir technique, a form of hand-stenciling, produces flat planes of colour, emphasizing shape and form. The structural arrangement within the image engages the eye, subtly questioning conventional notions of beauty and style. This challenges the traditional art historical canon and repositions fashion as a discourse that evolves and adapts.
