Vintage Fashion Magazine archive

Hello ladies,

Having just bought an original copy of L'Officiel, I discovered this archive on their website. They have scanned in every fashion mag from 1920 onwards, and you can look and zoom into all the pages.

If you click on the front covers you can look through each page.

I hope you enjoy it, it shows some of the real high end Parisian fashion,

Ben

Wow. Someone went to a lot of work! And free, no less. Thank you for posting!

Thanks, benstephens. I bought a 1963 copy for a few dollars at an antique barn about 10 years ago and I look through it often. That site is going on my favorites list.

I just looked at 1939 No.220-221 and noticed a fetching hooded number on P.34. There is a similar hooded top in my book 'The 1940s Look' and it makes me chuckle - do you think if I turned up at a 1940s event in a hoody I would get some strange looks? I would of course carry the picture to show it's authenticity

...and I wonder if you could get chucked out of shopping centres for wearing a 1939 hoody?
