Le Petit Echo de la Mode (October 1925)

Following on from my last post, here we have an issue of Le Petit Echo de la Mode published thirty-five years later.  The cover (and some of the internal illustrations) are now printed in colour, but the real changes are in the fashions.  While the fashions of the 1890s expressed the idea that more was definitely more (with beads and braids and embroideries, oh my!) the fashions of 1925 have embraced a pared-down aesthetic.

Left: Girl's coat in checked cloth with a small hat of the same material.  Centre: Raglan coat for child in mouflon wool with a matching belt.  Right: Young woman's coat, in classically tailored frieze.  Hat to match in felt with velvet band.

The designs of these coats are indeed "classic", and could easily be worn today!
