This fashion plate, "Art - Goût - Beauté" from January 1924, is a peek into the elegant world of Parisian style, created by an anonymous artist. Imagine the artist carefully laying down each line, the colours crisp and controlled. You get the sense they’re not just showing us clothes, but a whole scene, a party, or a cafe—somewhere chic, for sure. I can see the artist, maybe a little envious, wanting to be *in* that world, not just drawing it. It reminds me that fashion illustration is painting, too; it's about capturing a moment, a feeling, not just a garment. There's an energy, a vitality that makes you think about the times; it gives an insight into the era and the creativity happening.
