Wonderful 1920's fashion reference mariamttm@aol.com I thought this book was a great reference for 1920's fashion. It offered an abundance of authentic fashion sketches with a lot of variety.

I also enjoyed the summary of the decade in fashion at the beginning.. authentic french fashions of the twenties Susanne Devenish How can you messure disappointment in stars? I found this book resembled my childs colouring book & felt it should have come with a box of crayons. Not one 'proper' photo. I flipped through it & returned it almost immediately. Very disappointed.. "Authentic French Fashions of the 20's" according to A Customer. This is NOT the book for the many collectors of pochoir art and fans of Gazette du Bon Ton, Art Gout Beaute, etc. A really sophmoric effort full of lifeless black and white drawings and minimal text. A waste of time.
Olian has also provided an excellent introduction discussing the magazine, the period, and its fashion trends. L'Art et la Mode captured the glamor that was Paris in the Twenties, from days at the races to nights at the opera, from Sundays at the Ritz to Saturdays at the Folies-Bergère, and it followed the glittering circuit that flourished from Longchamps to Deauville to Cannes to Biarritz. 413 black-and-white illustrations.. The result is a beautifully illustrated, sumptuous look back at one of haute couture's most influential decades.
