Legendary couturier Paul Poiret

(image from perfumeprojects.com):

The designer in his studio 

…

revolutionised fashion sensibility of the early 20th century.

His clothing celebrated the female body

in designs of comfort, beauty, colour and elegance.

…

He was the first couturier of his time to rid his creations

of the corset, which rigidly shaped the body into a most

unnatural and painful S-shape.

In contrast, his creations were of

movement, glamour, intrigue and sensuality.

…

M. Poiret was a modern thinker of design and enterprise.

In addition to his couture line, he diversified into

the decorative arts and perfumery.

He kept his business concerns ‘all in the family’ –

with his daughters at the helm of each:

Martine, the youngest as head of Atelier de Martine

and Rosine, the eldest as head of Parfums de Rosine.

Atelier de Martine designed several of the bottles for Parfums de Rosine.

Today these perfume bottles are prized collector’s items.

…

 M. Poiret invited leading fashion illustrators of the time

to sketch his creations.

Many of his designs are today readily identifiable from these drawings,

which are as beautiful as the fashion they represented.
