About the Item

Created for the October 1984 exhibition “La France a du talent” at the iconic Galeries Lafayette in Paris, this original poster is the work of acclaimed Polish-born graphic designer Roman Cieslewicz. A master of visual impact and a key figure in 20th-century graphic design, Cieslewicz brings his signature boldness and minimalism to this chic and stylish piece. With just a few sweeping lines, Cieslewicz conjures an instantly recognizable French elegance: a white wide-brimmed hat, a hand with painted nails in the colors of the French flag, a single beauty mark, and striking red lips. The simplicity of the composition is deceptive—every element is carefully placed for maximum graphic power and cultural symbolism. The typography balances strong black lettering in the lower corner with the iconic “GALERIES LAFAYETTE” in blue and red across the top, seamlessly tying in with the tricolor detail in the nails. The result is a visual celebration of French identity, fashion, and artistic flair. As a piece of advertising, the poster is effective and refined; as a piece of design history, it is emblematic of Cieslewicz’s ability to fuse elegance, satire, and modernity. An exceptional collectible for fans of graphic design, French fashion history, or the inimitable style of 1980s Paris. Exhibition - Fashion - Department Stores Printed by Bedos 2

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design. Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents. The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design. A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
