Les Choses de Paul Poiret. Paris : Maquet, 15 février 1911

Exemplaire de Pierre Corrard, éditeur de la revue Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui, jusqu'à sa mort sur le front en novembre 1914. Sa veuve Nicole Corrard poursuivit l'oeuvre de son défunt mari.

Véritable chef d’œuvre de Georges Lepape, comprenant 12 planches montées sur onglets et coloriées au pochoir avec rehauts d’or et d’argent par Saudé, sur une note orientalisante totalement novatrice pour la mode féminine de l’époque. Paul Poiret lance, selon son expression, des coupes et des couleurs « comme des loups dans une bergerie ».

Cet album est considéré par beaucoup comme le plus beau livre sur la mode de l’époque.
