Art and Fashion

MODERN ART


Fashion Designer - Paul Poiret French couturier


Known as "Poiret the Magnificent" and "The Pasha of Paris" for his exuberant personality and his fascination with the exotic East, Paul Poiret played an important role in the launch of 20th-century modernism. In fashion, he helped revolutionize 19th-century dress codes, freeing women first from the petticoat in 1903 and then in 1906 from the constrictions of the corset.


Art-Francis Picabia


The Fauvist painter Francis Picabia was his friend, 
and they shared a love of bright color.
