Plunge into the ultimate luxury and sophisticated flair of the Roaring Twenties with this spectacular George Barbier Elle et Lui reproduction. This 1921 fashion plate captures the bold, geometric style and audaciously modern look of the nascent Art Deco movement.

George Barbier (1882–1932) was one of the most distinguished French illustrators of the early 20th century, setting the benchmark for the Art Deco style in fashion illustration. This work, often published in the elite French style journal Gazette du Bon Ton, is a perfect visual summary of the era’s aesthetic shift:

• Geometry Meets Form: The figures are elegantly stylized, using clean lines and a sense of contained dynamism to depict the chic, liberated couple. This reflects the Streamline Moderne influence on fashion design.

• The New Aesthetic: The illustration often subtly juxtaposes the elegance of the past (sometimes via the man's tailored wear) with the striking modernity of the woman's garçonne look—her daring silhouette and confident pose symbolize the new freedom and audacity of women post-WWI.

• Technique: Barbier's original illustrations, usually produced with ink and watercolor, were frequently reproduced using the pochoir (stenciling) technique to achieve the brilliant, flat fields of saturated color that make this image instantly recognizable.

This print is an essential piece of vintage Art Deco fashion art, highly prized for its impeccable elegance and historical documentation of Parisian couture.
