Paul Iribe

Paul Iribe was an amazing french Fashion illustrator. His illustrations for Paul Poiret made him famous, as well as the illustrations for Jeanne Lanvin, and Coco Chanel (whom he had an affair with!)
I love the elegance of his work and the bold, bright colors. His illustrations were simple, clean and delicate. Paul Iribe's illustration of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter is inspiration for the Lanvin logo still used today.
Here are some of his illustrations:
