1911: “First Fashion Shoot”

The Spring collection from the then hugely famous Paul Poiret was published by the French magazine “Art et Decoration” in an article called L’Art de la Robe (The Art of Dress). The collection significantly included these photographs by a young and then unknown Edward Steichen whose models posed in a more naturalistic style – a break away from the traditional clothes mannequin.
