Saison d'été, 1916
A 1916 Swiss fashion catalogue of women's coats and suits, numbered plates showing tailored walking suits, long coats and hats for the season. The plates are monochrome engravings of standing models in full-length dress, with small detail sketches of garment backs beside them. A designer might take from them the period silhouettes: nipped waists, wide lapels, belted fronts, and the tall, brimmed or feathered hats worn with them.
