M. Cassandre. Iribe worked with Draeger from 1929 onward, and produced the cardboard figure and photograph of the 'ambassador' which represented the printing firm for advertising purposes. He designed three Nicolas catalogues . . . . Cassandre designed the first 'current price' catalogue in 1930, and two more in 1935 and 1937."

Paul Iribe (1883 - 1935) was known internationally for his early contributions to Art Deco, his illustrations for the fashion industry, his work with the film industry, and, perhaps most famously, his love affair with Coco Chanel. In addition to the rich artistic and intellectual contributions of his published work, Iribe created advertising campaigns for, among other businesses, Ford Motors and Nicolas (the wine merchant); worked extensively with clothing designers, including Paul Poiret, where he first displayed his innovative style of depicting designs worn by active women in the midst of everyday activities, rather than by stiff and posed fashion models; had his own studio, where he focused on decorative art designs, including furniture and fabric; and moved briefly to the United States, where he worked as both costume and set designer on several Hollywood movies (including The Ten Commandments as artistic director for De Mille).
