This week-to-view desk diary features beautiful Art Deco fashion illustrations by George Barbier from the V&As extensive collection of Art Deco magazines. Produced in expensive limited editions and in keeping with the luxurious new Age of Glamour, these magazines included hand coloured pictures, flaunting the decadent life of the jazz age flapper, dressed in the newly streamlined clothes of Chanel, Poiret and Schiaparelli. For the first time in history, fashion was art and artists depicted fashion. Also available in pocket format.
