The page published in “Femina” on March 15, 1912, titled "An Hour of Elegance at the Théâtre Femina, features the opening of the Parry fashion house, led by designer Jean Patou. Several mannequins dressed in Jean Patou's creations are shown from different angles and poses, highlighting the details of the outfits. The opening of the Parry fashion house, located at 4 Rond-point des Champs-Élysées in Paris, took place in early 1912. Parry chose the Théâtre Femina for the launch of its first collection. This theater, opened in 1907, is known for its connections to fashion. The page combines text, cut-out photography, and illustration. The composite image used here to illustrate the fashion show recreates a runway where the mannequins walk on a stage, creating an elegant and fluid line. This visually recreates the atmosphere of the fashion show while showcasing the creations of the Parry fashion house.
