Overview

A woman, a kiss, a star...A virtuoso illustrator of the greatest names in fashion, from Dior to Balmain, the most prestigious brands, including Rouge Baiser and Scandale, and the most colourful productions staged at the Moulin Rouge, Lido and Casino de Paris, Rene Gruau, caring little for accolades and glory, has the elegance to remain in the background. Though his name is not on everyones lips, his fashion sketches, his posters, his advertisements have all caught our eye at some time, without us even realising it, or perhaps against our will, for Gruau has elevated suggestion into an art form, creating images that in todays world would be described as subliminal. Gruau, artist, magician and fantasist, delights in bringing together Western graphics with Japanese exoticism, playing with our senses and fantasies, and showcasing women rather than actual perfumes, women with all their elegance, charm and visual presence.
