| French Designer Paul Poiret (1879-1944) |
A fashion genius from the Art Deco movement, his artistic flair, coupled with his exceptional and original designing skills enabled him to translate the spirit of the era into revolutionary garments. I can really appreciate the importance of Poiret’s one-of-a-kind innovations - beyond fantastic.

There's plenty of information on-line about Paul Poiret life; which is why I decided to only discuss my personal feelings about the designer and his clothes. I love the Edwardian into the 1930's fashion-style and everything about the Art Deco period. It's just so appealing and Paul Poiret designs has made my fascination much stronger. His classical design is uniquely his own signature.
