Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Pl. 6.- HERIODIADE 1925

This is G-P. Joumard's "Très Parisien," made in 1925. It's a fashion plate, so you can imagine the artist carefully composing each line to capture the essence of the latest trends, perhaps working with gouache or watercolor. The palette is so restrained—pastel pinks and blues—but there's a playful confidence in the way the artist balances these colors. I wonder, when Joumard was creating this, were they thinking about the changing roles of women, and the way fashion could be a form of expression? The layering of ruffles and the delicate floral details, it’s almost as if Joumard is not just presenting fashion, but imagining a whole world around it. In a way, it reminds me of Sonia Delaunay's simultaneous dresses. It’s all about the movement of color and form. You get the feeling that these artists are having a conversation across time, inspiring each other to see the world in new ways.
