Bernard Boutet de Monvel: Paris Fashion (1912) Vintage Pochoir Print

Capture the sophisticated dawn of modern fashion. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Bernard Boutet de Monvel’s 1912 Paris Fashion, a stunning example of early 20th-century graphic mastery.

In 1912, the fashion world was undergoing a radical shift. Bernard Boutet de Monvel was at the forefront, defining the new look of the Parisian elite. This plate, from the celebrated Costumes Parisiens, showcases his signature clear-line style. By simplifying the figure into bold, elongated shapes and using the pochoir technique for flat, jewel-toned colors, he anticipated the Art Deco movement. The subject—an elegant woman in a grey cheviot walking suit with a wide-brimmed straw hat and parasol—symbolizes the independence and streamlined grace of the pre-war 'New Woman.' It is a work that captures not just a garment, but the very architectural soul of Parisian high society.

Original pochoir plates are prized for their unique 'painterly' layered texture. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the crisp linework and the delicate, chalky matte finish of the original 1912 stencil process. Printed on heavyweight 100% cotton rag paper, it ensures the subtle greys and sunny yellow accents remain as chic as the day they were first published.

A perfect Statement Piece for a boutique, a sophisticated dressing room, or a gallery-style hallway. This Boutet de Monvel Print is an exceptional gift for fashion historians, Francophiles, and lovers of vintage design.
