Further details

GEORGES LEPAPE, FRONT COVER FOR VOGUE: WOMAN ON A BALCONY, GRAPHITE, WATERCOLOUR AND BODYCOLOUR, HEIGHTENED WITH WHITE
Since his first commission in 1911 for the couturier Paul Poiret, Georges Lepape has distinguished himself as one of the leading fashion designers of the late Belle Epoque and especially the Interwar period. His clear, supple lines and slender silhouettes embodied the very spirit of the Roaring Twenties. A regular illustrator for the most prestigious fashion and style magazines both in France (La Gazette du Bon Ton, Femina) and abroad (Harper's Bazaar, Vogue), his renown earned him an invitation to New York from Condé Nast himself, leaving a lasting mark on the magazine's aesthetic through the 114 covers he produced for Vogue ( W. Packer, The Art of Vogue Covers 1909-1940, London, 1980, p.22).This drawing appeared on the cover of the February 1927 issue of Vogue (fig. 1). The artist was as famous for the garçonne fashions he promoted as for the Art Deco-style Japanese landscape. Playing with the typography of the title was an exercise that Lepape never ceased to practise, always coming up with new variations.
