Tamara de Lempicka and Fashion

Tamara de Lempicka (May 16, 1898 - March 18, 1980) - an icon of the Jazz Age and Art Deco style - was the first woman artist to be a glamour star and a fashion icon in her own lifetime.

These images - together with her work for the German magazine Die Dame, the photos of her signed "Madame D'Ora", and her paintings in which women are dressed in clothes inspired by Schiaparelli, Vionnet and Grès - confirm the close relationship between de Lempicka's art and the world of fashion, and her ties with certain fashion designers previously ignored.
