She turns away in a sweep of spring green, an oversized checkered bow blooming at her back and a painted fan held high like a shield. Long black gloves, a tilt of the chin, and not a second to spare for the bespectacled gentleman bowing hopefully in the corner. This is fashion as theater, and she is unmistakably the star.The scene first appeared on the April 15, 1923 Paris Fashions Number, where the magazine mused that fashion can be a form of seduction, and that the real heartbreaker is not the courteous beau but a dress with one of those bows ""that came to the aid of the ladies of 1880."" Style, as the editors put it, follows the women who set the mode by upsetting it: when such a one buys, the coach turns into a pumpkin, ""and-But Cinderella's never caught."" Rendered in crisp Art Deco lines and rich color, the 500 piece solve is a satisfying challenge that rewards a patient eye for pattern and detail.It makes a charming gift for fashion lovers, vintage devotees, and anyone who appreciates a little wit with their elegance.
