STYL Berlin Fashion Journal – “Geburtstag”, 1922
STYL – Pages for Fashion and the Pleasant Things in Life (original Titel: "Blätter für Mode und die angenehmen Dinge des Lebens") was one of the most influential German fashion journals of the 1920s. This original sheet number 8 from edition 2, published in 1922 is titled “Geburtstag” combines high fashion aesthetics with artistic illustration.
The detailed drawing is by Ernst L. Kretschmann, a renowned fashion illustrator of the era, who captured the Berlin fashion scene of the Weimar Republic with elegance and precision. The featured shoes were designed by Sigmund Reiss, a designer known for shaping the stylistic expression of the 1920s.
This original piece is a document of its time, reflecting the bold, feminine, and modern identity of 1920s Berlin fashion. STYL targeted women interested in style, craftsmanship, and the refined lifestyle – “the pleasant things in life”.
With its stylized forms, delicate lines, and refined colors, “Geburtstag” bridges the artistic movements of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. It is both a fashion statement and a collectible for lovers of vintage fashion illustration and graphic design.
