FASHION MAGAZINES & ARCHIVES #3

Some sales come around like a much-anticipated event. Magazines & Fashion Archives #3 once again celebrates the legacy of fashion through those who have chronicled, designed, photographed, and conceptualized it.

Nearly 90 lots trace more than a century of publishing history, from the late 19th century to the 2020s. Among them are *Album du Figaro*, *American Magazine*, *L’Art et la Mode*, *Flair*, *Harper’s Bazaar*, *Claudine*, *Egoïste*, *Elle*, *Femina*, *Le Nouveau Femina*, *Femme Chic*, *Femme*, *FMR*, Formes et Couleurs, L’Officiel, Le Jardin des Modes, La Mode Pratique, Le Monde d’Hermès, Modes & Travaux, Pour Elle, Silhouette, Votre Amie, Le Petit Écho de la Mode, Ève, Nous Deux, Rêves, Les Cahiers de l’Artisane Couture, Plaire, Vogue, W Magazine, Per Lui, Paris Match and Jours de France.

By turns aesthetic manifestos, working tools, objects of desire, or reflections of their era, these publications tell the story not only of fashion but also of images, photography, graphic design, and the press.

The sale concludes with a selection of archival materials—lookbooks, fashion show invitations, sketches, and other ephemera. These are all traces of the creative process that, in their own way, capture a moment in fashion.

More than just publications, these magazines are living archives. They chronicle collections before they become iconic garments, designers before they make history, and trends before they become benchmarks. Whether you’re flipping through them, studying them, or collecting them, they continue to write their own story.
