Georges Lepape (1913) Le Jaloux / Robe du soir de Paul Poiret

This image appeared in the April issue of La Gazette du Bon Ton in 1913.

Georges Lepape (1887–1971), a regular contributor to the periodical’s emblematic fashion plates celebrating the leading designers of the era, imagines here a scene titled The Jealous. A young woman in a Paul Poiret evening gown is caught between admirers: an older suitor who surprises her, and a younger, more dashing gentleman who bends to kiss her hand.
