Original vintage fashion magazine | Le Petit Echo de la Mode | 1925-09-27 | Framed
This September 1925 issue of the French fashion magazine Le Petit Echo de la Mode adopts the classic autumnal warm tones and embeds them into its cover, suggesting stylish combinations, according to the trends from the Roaring 20s.
The magazine, which comes with an elegant white wooden frame, is the unprecedented gift you have been searching for, made for your favourite September child. Nowadays, the vintage issues of the magazine are a rarity, so this exclusive product is also an excellent suggestion if you are wondering what to get for a collector of memorabilia from times long gone but not forgotten. The composition of picturesque colours, drawings, and frame complement the magazine in a way that makes it a perfect decoration for your home, for the office of a fashion designer, or a media outlet.
A unique gift for every fashionista; every devil that wears Prada; everybody who doesn't sleep in sheets at night, but in various fabrics spread on the bed instead!Le Petit Echo de la Mode has been one of the most successful weekly periodicals in France, at least for its time-being. Launched in 1878, it lived in the minds and wardrobes of French women more than a century, thanks to senator Charles de Penanster and his wife Claire de Roux. Together, they save the cheap magazine from low circulation, turning it into an instant hit.
What is paradoxical about the edition is that Claire had to work under the male pseudonym Baronne de Clessy, in order to become editor-in-chief and be taken seriously - by society, not by her husband, we hope. Ah, those times when talent and the mere state of being a woman was not enough to have a top role in a women's magazine... Today, at least, we can pay our respect to this vintage gem from a progressive standpoint!
Even though the 60s came with a decline in interest, "the small echo" was still in print all the way to 1983. It remains in history as one of the most sold French weeklies. Nowadays, its value lies exactly in its status as a product from the past. Here, at Elephant Bookstore, we have a few of the magazine's issues on offer, each one of them dating back from the 1920s: the era of unstoppable growth for the magazine.- • Size: 41.5 х 34.5 х 2.5 cm
