Tropical Bird Prints

Paul Poiret (20 April 1879, Paris, France – 30 April 1944, Paris)[1] was a leading French fashion designer, a master couturier during the first two decades of the 20th century. He was the founder of his namesake haute couture house. His contributions to his field have been likened to Picasso‘s legacy in 20th-century art.[2][3]te floral embroidery on kimonos.
