JEANNE LANVIN - II - Lot 31

JEANNE LANVIN - II "La Poseuse," the name given to the dress model worn by a mannequin, 1946. Photo by Georges Saad, vintage silver print on cardstock, stamped (by the photographer and the Lanvin brand) and annotated (year and details of the dress). 29.6 x 19.5 cm. Some edges slightly trimmed. Note: In 1946, the Jeanne Lanvin fashion house presented “La Poseuse,” a design photographed by Georges Saad. This creation was part of the postwar revival of Parisian haute couture, as the house carried on the legacy of its founder, Jeanne Lanvin, who had passed away that same year. The Lanvin stamp and the annotations specifying the year and details of the dress lend this print an interesting dimension as a fashion archive piece.
