Costumes inédits / de Aine-Montaillé, 1, Place Vendôme, Paris ; dessins fantaisistes de Mich
A 1906 Paris fashion plate album of unpublished women's costumes issued by the house of Aine-Montaillé at Place Vendôme, with fanciful drawings by an illustrator whose monogram appears on the plates. The four pictures show Edwardian women in hats, parasols and long coats rendered in flat colour with bold black outlines, in a loose Art Nouveau manner. A designer could take the simple contour line, the restricted palette of pink, yellow and red against grey, and the stylish poses for period-inspired fashion graphics.
