This poster is in the style of Japanese moga or “modern girls”, who followed “Westernised fashions and lifestyles in the 1920s. These moga were Japan’s equivalent of America’s flappers.” Moga were considered to be the “model consumer, someone more often found in advertisements for cosmetics and fashion than in real life.” Ref: Wiki.
