PREMET FASHION WATERCOLOURS
Premet was a Parisian fashion house operating from 1911 to 1931.
Mme. Premet was the house's original designer. She was followed by a
Mme. Lefranc and then by Mme. Charlotte, who presided from 1918
through the 1920s, the firm's most successful period. Her "La Garconne"
model, a simple black dress was her best seller; the house's "Gamine"
looks were also popular as well as influential.
Alix Gres worked for a time at Premet prior to establishing her own business.
Premet was one of a brilliant roster of French fashion houses that flourished in the 1920s.
The house produced some famous designers including Agnes, Drecoll,
Redfern, Molyneaux, Jean Patou and Paul Poiret.

On the back of most is the Premet stamp denoting the date the
fashions were designed (1921 - 1930).
All are priced at $1200
