This STYL print shows a coat design by designer V. Manheimer, illustrated by Annie Offerdinger. The print is titled "The Green Veil" and is one of the lithographs, published in 1922, in the Berlin fashion journal STYL, the "magazine for fashion and the pleasant things in life" (plate 4, edition 5/6).
Characteristic are the clear, linear forms and the harmonious color composition with muted reds, yellows, and grays, reflecting the typical Art Deco-inspired style of this era. The illustration shows an elegant woman in a long coat, decorated with lavish fur accents, in front of a stylized interior with furniture and curtains. The minimalist yet expressive lines of Offerdinger's drawing are striking.
The fashion journal STYL, published in Berlin with the subtitle "Journal for Fashion and the Pleasant Things of Life," was a renowned magazine for fashion and art in the 1920s, combining innovative illustrations with high-quality typography. For collectors of original prints, this publication represents a valuable testament to fashion and art history. ART FLAGEY presents this publication in a series of other STYL lithographs from 1922.
