About the Item

Step into the elegance of the 1950s with this very rare and stunning fabric featuring intricate motifs of clay pipes, playing cards, cigars, tobacco, poker chips, and matchboxes. Set against a quintessentially 50s abstract gray and black background, this fabric exudes vintage charm. Perfect for collectors seeking a touch of mid-century allure! Jean Clemmer (1926–2001) was a French photographer and artist, known for his collaborations with fashion designer Paco Rabanne and artist Salvador Dalí during the 1960s. His work is characterized by avant-garde and surrealist themes, often focusing on the human body and its relationship to art and fashion. During the 1950s, Clemmer was active in Paris, primarily working as a photographer and artist. However, there is limited information about specific textile works by Clemmer from this period. His most famous collaborations in fashion and textiles occurred later, especially with Paco Rabanne in the 1960s, where they created innovative and experimental fashion photography. For more in-depth information, it could be valuable to consult specialized art and fashion archives or publications that focus on Clemmer and his works.
