He illustrated numerous front covers to these magazines and worked with Dior, Balmain, Balenciaga, Givenchy and the leading department stores in Paris. This design is by the iconic Balenciaga.

FUN! Rare pair! Perfect for the Chanel #5 lover. This is a set of 3 French perfume advertisement prints that dates to 1999. Originally they were advertisement prints from a French magazine of the time. Purchased by us in Paris. They showcase the Chanel No.5 atomizer for the woman who won’t leave home without her perfume. This image was promoted for the woman on the go. The prints have dynamic graphic imagery with the atomizer, the #5, the shopping tote and the iconic Chanel logo all done in fabulous contrasting colors of fuschia, yellow, blue, green, red etc. color. Note the wonderful sheen of the prints. Pristine condition. These prints had limited circulation, specific to the time, and are very difficult to find with the passage of time. The prints make great bathroom décor. Great for today’s fashionista. Great gift idea. 9 x 10.75 inches in size. Each comes matted in a 16 x 20 inch white custom mat which works with a standard size frame. They are priced as a set of 3 matted prints.
