A new exhibition of #manga art at the Musée Guimet, Paris, features work by Osamu Tezuka, Shigeru Mizuki and Sanpei Shirato alongside newer works. Just in time for my trip to #Paris next week to see exhibits on #IsaoTakahata and #PaulPoiret - jammy or what?

#Ootd is this 1920 #PaulPoiret silk velvet evening coat. It was worn by Yvette Guilbert, a French singer and actress, at the L'Oasis, the outdoor theater and club that Poiret created the garden outside his fashion house. I was the venure of many of his famous parties.
#Ootd is this 1926 Paul Poiret evening coat. It's made of ermine with some insets of faux black fur blended with gold lame, floral appliques using metallic thread, sequins, and metal beads. It is truly unique and a signifier of wealth. #Fashionhistory #paulpoiret
dress. Les Arts Decoratifs displayed the dress with the sleeves wrapped around the forearms, a gorgeous look. It would be interesting to see how the original owner would have worn it. #Fashionhistory #paulpoiret
#Ootd is this 1923 Paul Poiret dress, fils du ciel (son of heaven). It's made of velvet and embroidered with metallic thread, and has a folksy, Eastern European feel. Very elegant. #fashionhistory #paulpoiret
Next to the dress was this 1952-3 evening cape, also featuring Indian-esque design motifs combined with large kimono-like sleeves, another mixing of Oriental elements as Poiret did. #Fashionhistory #ootd #paulpoiret
We're in the home stretch. The last two rooms of Les Arts Decoratifs' #PaulPoiret: A Feast of Fashion exhibit were entitled "Poiret's Legacy." One designer inspired by Poiret was none other than Christian Dior. In this 1948 evening coat, Minuit, Dior references Poiret's unstructured coats, which
his identity as an artist. This one is particularly lovely as it has a pattern designed by his Atelier Martine and may refer to Rousseau's jungle painting, which Poiret enjoyed. Its lining is also embroidered with geometric patterns and slashes. #fashionhistory #paulpoiret
#Ootd isn't an outfit, but accessories Paul Poiret produced from designs by his Atelier Martine. All have bright, whimsical, floral patterns- a 1912 bamboo umbrella, a 1911 silk and wool cap, and a pair of 1924 "the Roses" shoes of embroidered velvet and silk chenille. #fashionhistory #paulpoiret
learned under the tutelage of Marguerite Sérusier, an artist and the wife of the Symbolist painter, Paul Sérusier. This 1920, worn by Martine Poiret, was designed by her father, featuring a print by Atelier Martine. The pattern was also on curtains and wallpaper. #ootd #fashionhistory #paulpoiret
tapestry by Andre Groult, a French interior designer, who collaborated with Poiret. #Fashionhistory #ootd #paulpoiret
height of Poiret's career, similar to his designs, this dress features an empire waist and bright, contrasting colors (though more subdued than Poiret's). #fashionhistory #ootd #paulpoiret

Poiret fashion, it is clearly influenced by the East, particularly the kimono. The waist pleats are also divine and go all the way around the back. #fashionhistory #paulpoiret
Here we also have another lampshade dress from his One Thousand and Second Night party with a matching man's costume. I love this one as the women's tunic looks like stars in the night sky. It was present at @metmuseum.org's Poiret exhibit in 2007. #ootd #paulpoiret #fashionhistory
Another Poiret Renaissance fancy dress costume is this one, also from @metmuseum.org. Sadly, it is lacking its undergarments to present it to its full effect.

this one is @metmuseum.org. It is a recreation of a Renaissance gown. #fashionhistory #paulpoiret #ootd
