Reviving a celebrated title last published in 1839, Paul Poiret & Tom Antongini produced 'Journal des dames et des modes' June 1912 - August 1914. A magazine devoted to “ladies and fashion,” it featured society gossip, & poetry by Jean Cocteau, Anatole France,& the Comtesse de Noailles. Each issue with prints of women attired in gowns, robes, coats invariably stretching to the floor, exposing a delicate foot but absolutely no leg. Children, properly kitted out smartly and even the occasional man!
