This monthly periodical, published by Butterick, features a catalogue of the latest fashions from Paris and is therefore printed in French. The periodical features page after page of beautiful black and white and colour fashion plates. There are some contemporary fashion articles and an array of advertisements giving a glimpse of Parisienne fashion during the roaring twenties.
