About Jean-Gabriel Domergue

His works combine the aesthetics of the Belle Époque with the clear, stylised expression of Art Deco. As a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he developed a distinctive style characterised in particular by slender, graceful female figures. This characteristic style earned him the reputation as the ‘father of the French fashion woman’.
