PKZ/Pare-Averse. 1924.
An extraordinary poster for a waterproof raincoat. The brown, black and grey palette very effectively evokes an environment where the outerwear would be a necessity, complete with ominously-bowed branches and threatening skies. But our savvy PKZ-coated traveler is unperturbed by the intrusive elements. And for a spectacular touch of nonchalance, you can’t beat the cap and pipe in such inclement conditions. This is the French-language version.
