It seemed that the well-oiled publicity machine of French fashion designer Paul Poiret was in fine form when his flacks extended an invitation to the Paris-based correspondent from American Vogue to attend a grand party held at the house of the famed styliste.

Poiret was proving it to one and all by hosting a number of swelligant theme-parties throughout the summer of 1919.
The correspondent who felt otherwise and was not invited was the fashion journalist from Flapper Magazine; American flappers did not approve of Poiret one bit. Click here to read what they thought of him.
