Frühjahr & Sommer 1928
A 1928 Swiss fashion plate catalogue titled Frühjahr & Sommer, showing spring and summer coat and suit designs for women. The pictures are flat hand-coloured illustrations of standing models in coats with wide lapels, belts, and patterned panels in muted tan, grey and blue, numbered beneath each figure. A designer could take the cloche hats, slim knee-length silhouettes, and the striped and check textile treatments as period references for 1920s Art Deco fashion graphics.
