Art Nouveau In Interior Design and Fashion

Art Nouveau was influenced by ideas of the natural world and what designers experienced around them, borrowing ideas from nature and reflecting them in magnificent fabrics and wall paper.
Interior Design
From 1880 to 1910, art nouveau interior design was the height of originality and design excellence. The concept was first on show in Paris, France and then London, UK. It caused a huge fuss as people instantly loved it or loathed it.

Fashion

Art Nouveau Fashion provides a fascinating introduction to the style, defining it and placing it in design history by focusing on a number of important designers - Worth, Lucile, Paquin, Poiret - and key topics, such as clients and artists, jewellery and accessories and advertising. Art Nouveau fashion questioned conventional gender norms with daring flamboyance, presenting women in suits, influenced by tailored menswear.
