Description

" En habillant l'époque " Rares ont été les créateurs de mode qui se sont autant impliqués dans l'innovation et l'exploration de l'étendue des possibilités offertes par les arts appliqués. Curieux, inventif, audacieux, Paul Poiret " le Magnifique " régnait sur l'univers parisien de la mode. Au coeur des activités mondaines et artistiques tourbillonnantes de la capitale, il s'est enthousiasmé pour le théâtre, les Ballets russes, la musique et la peinture. Un vent de liberté, de modernité et de gaieté soufflait sur sa maison de couture. II fut le premier couturier à lancer sa maison de parfumerie Les Parfums de Rosine (igri) et n'a cessé de penser et d'intégrer la mode dans l'espace et l'art de vivre. Réputé pour ses fêtes somptueuses, complice des années folles, décor, audace, tout était possible. Homme de communication avant l'heure, Paul Poiret a construit sa mode avec le concours d'artistes peintres et d'illustrateurs reconnus. La publicité faite autour de ses parfums poussait au rêve. Adulé, riche et célèbre, le " King " de cette foisonnante période Art déco a pourtant quitté le monde en 1944, seul et ruiné.
