It is impossible to think of modern design without honoring Paul Poiret. One of the first use draped fashion, capitalize on his own name, and use live models, he essentially created the modern fashion industry. The offered 1929 photograph shows the iconic designer working with one of his "mannequins" during a rare trip to the United States. Taken in Los Angeles, this is an extremely rare photograph of one of the most important designers of all time! Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
