About This Item
Rare archive of 5 French high fashion magazines from 1925. Stylish and colourful illustrations on front covers with multiple colour and black and white illustrations, and some photographs within. Text in French. Folio. Each have a red footer "Les éditions Condé Nast" as by 1923 Condé Nast acquired the publication who also published Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker. The magazine was meant to create buzz about new and upcoming fashion trends for the season and included photos and illustrations of designs for women, children, and sometimes men. Brightly coloured patterns for the season's trending textiles are shown in some. Black and white photographs of real women posing in the hottest season's fashion, in this case the 1920s gave us cloche hats, straight line chemises, and bob haircuts. The 1920s was a revolutionary time for fashion after the suffragette movement lent way for women to adopt a style of freedom and liberation outside of tight corsets and high neck dresses that covered the ankles. The magazine stopped being published during France's German occupation in 1940 but started back up under the name Jardin des Modes with it's height in the 1950s. This collection of five magazines include:
[1] Le Jardin des Modes. February, 1925 "La Contravention"
[2] Le Jardin des Modes. June, 1925 "Un Bon Accueil"
[3] Le Jardin des Modes. July, 1925 "Les Trois Amies"
[4] Le Jardin des Modes. September, 1925 "Ous Irons-Nous Prendre le The?"
[5] Le Jardin des Modes. October, 1925 "Le Joli Petit Village"
Paris burgeoned haute couture in the mid 1800s, proliferating high fashion magazines which made art to wear more accessible to the masses. This collection of 1920s Parisian fashion magazines showcase a blossom for what would be one of the world's leading industries today. A few of the covers are partially loose due to 100 year old staples. Some edge wear and foxing to covers, pages, illustrations, and text are primarily clean and crisp. Overall very good condition.
