Henri Chapron, car couturier

Henri Chapron is a perfect example of how creativity, custom and nationality can become closely intertwined. Admittedly, he had fertile soil in which to develop. We are talking about the France of the “Années Folles”, where, in 1919, he first emerged as a coachbuilder, and where Parisians sought to drive away the memories of the war through a nightlife animated by the artistic avant-garde, the increasing prominence of refined Deco taste, and the birth of fashion as we know it today.
