Jean Patou

Jean Patou (August 19, 1880 - March 8, 1936), French fashion designer and founder of the Jean Patou brand, vintage, 7 x 11 inch, glossy photograph. Stamp dated 1924.

Patou's clothes were marketed mostly to rich American women. When the stock market crashed, however, so did the market for luxury fashion. The House of Patou survived through its perfumes, which remain well known today.

Front shows very light and minimal artist touch-up edits and crop markings. Verso bears original handwritten notations, affixed press clipping and date stamping of November 20, 1924. In very good condition with slightly irregular trimmed edges; seemingly cut down from a larger image.
