1880-1936 Jean Patou

[DosViolines]

Active, athletic, and healthy women became symbols of a new period in fashion as sports clothes began to appear in the 1920s. George Hoyningen-Huené’s photograph, for the July 1, 1928, Vogue, integrates a practical and stylish two-piece wool jersey bathing suit by Patou with a pose and props that conveyed the look of an entire era.

I went to see a photography exhibition on 1930s fashion last week and some of Jean Patou's designs were featured.
