Description and Details
This antique Paris Fashions magazine is a genuine Belle Époque fashion reference piece. Paris Fashions was produced as the English translated edition of the celebrated French fashion magazine La Nouvelle Mode, allowing international readers to follow Parisian style, dressmaking culture, and textile trends at the turn of the twentieth century. For collectors, costume designers, and textile historians, it offers original period context that modern reproductions simply cannot match.
The bilingual structure makes this issue particularly collectible. The first four pages are translated into English, giving a readable entry into the content, after which the magazine continues as the full French edition in its entirety. This format preserves authenticity while adding practical accessibility for study and display.
This specific issue is dated 1 March 1902. The front cover is marked Volume IX, No. 217. Inside, the French version repeats the same date and lists Neuvième année, No. 9 (Ninth year, No. 9), providing clear provenance and accurate placement within the series.
As with other Paris Fashions issues from this period, it serves as a rich snapshot of early 1900s fashion publishing, ideal for collectors of antique couture ephemera, reference libraries, or anyone seeking authentic Belle Époque visual material for creative work.
Material Details: Printed paper.
