Description
Gaspar Camps, a prominent Spanish poster artist, became a leading figure in the world of graphic design during the early 20th century. His works are a perfect reflection of the evolving cultural and aesthetic sensibilities of the period, particularly the rise of the Art Deco movement. Known for his modernist approach, Camps excelled at blending artistic innovation with commercial advertising, producing images that celebrated the elegance and sophistication of the era.
One of his most iconic pieces is Élégante au chapeau, created around 1920. The poster exemplifies the stylish flair and refined tastes of the time, capturing the spirit of a world recovering from war and embracing modernity. Like many of Camps' works, Élégante au chapeau is more than just a commercial advertisement—it serves as a visual statement about the elegance and luxury of the period.
The poster showcases a fashionable woman adorned with an extravagant hat, epitomizing the idealized image of femininity and grace that was highly sought after in the 1920s. The hat, a prominent accessory of the time, symbolizes wealth and high society while also serving as a focal point that draws the viewer’s attention. The woman's posture and expression exude confidence and elegance, highlighting the growing empowerment of women during the Jazz Age.
Camps' mastery of design is evident in his use of bold lines, geometric shapes, and a refined color palette. The simplicity and precision of the composition mirror the minimalist tendencies of Art Deco, a style that emphasized clean lines, symmetry, and the fusion of decorative elements with functional design. The woman's image is presented in a manner that highlights both her beauty and her status, with the hat acting as an accessory that complements her refined silhouette.
Élégante au chapeau was created during a time of social transformation, when the roles of women were undergoing significant changes. The 1920s marked the emergence of the "New Woman," a concept that embraced freedom, independence, and self-expression. The figure depicted in the poster reflects this new ideal, embodying the modern woman who embraced fashion, sophistication, and an active role in society.
The poster also reflects the cultural shift of the time. The post-World War I period was a time of great change, with the world moving toward new technological advancements, fresh ideas in art and design, and a renewed sense of optimism. Gaspar Camps’ work taps into this spirit, offering a glimpse of the luxury and refinement that defined the 1920s. The hat in the poster, often seen as a symbol of status and fashion, represents this desire for sophistication, and it speaks to the growing appetite for glamour in the years following the war.
As a work of commercial art, Élégante au chapeau represents the intersection of business and creativity. Posters like this were essential tools in advertising during the early 20th century, promoting everything from fashion to entertainment. Camps’ ability to create a visually captivating image while also fulfilling its commercial purpose showcases his skill and understanding of the power of visual communication.
In the decades since its creation, Élégante au chapeau has become an iconic example of 1920s poster art. It continues to be admired not only for its aesthetic beauty but for its cultural significance, capturing the spirit of an era defined by elegance, innovation, and change. Gaspar Camps’ contribution to the world of graphic design has left a lasting legacy, and his works, including Élégante au chapeau, remain timeless symbols of the artistic and cultural movements that shaped the early 20th century.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit

What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
