Faubourg St. Honoré

Faubourg St. Honore sculpture size: 8 1/2'' x 12" x 20 3/4", cast in bronze using the lost wax process. This image was originally created as a fashion drawing for Harper's Bazaar in September 1920. The Rue Faubourg St. Honore is a famous street in Paris's 8th District. While narrow compared to Paris's Champs Elysees, it is considered the capital of Haute Couture due to the presence of major fashion houses including Gianni Versace, Christian Dior, Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and Chloe. It can be compared to New York's Madison Avenue and Los Angeles' Rodeo Drive.
