About the Item

Bold, glamorous, and radiating 1980s chic, this original 1984 poster for Galeries Lafayette captures the essence of Parisian fashion at its most commanding. Dressed in a sharp-shouldered crimson suit with exaggerated tailoring and a cinched waist, the illustrated figure exudes power and poise—a perfect embodiment of the era’s fashion-forward confidence. Set against a deep midnight-blue background, the composition draws the eye immediately to the striking contrast between the bright red suit and the pale elegance of the model’s features. Her coiffed, voluminous hair and minimalist accessories enhance the sense of haute couture sophistication, while the flowing lines and stylized posture echo the glamorous energy of fashion illustration from this iconic decade. Emblazoned with the slogan “The Department Store, Capital of Fashion” and its French counterpart “Le Grand Magasin Capitale de la Mode,” the poster doesn’t just promote Galeries Lafayette—it reinforces its role as a global fashion authority. Located on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, Galeries Lafayette was, and remains, a destination for luxury and style, bridging the worlds of retail and high fashion. This piece isn’t just commercial advertising—it’s a stylish time capsule from the golden age of editorial fashion, when posters served as powerful visual statements. A compelling collector’s item, it celebrates both the flair of 1980s design and the enduring legacy of one of Paris’s most iconic department stores.

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition

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...
