Herbst und winter, 1917
A 1917 Swiss mail-order catalogue of women's autumn and winter coats and suits, likely printed for customers ordering clothing by post. The plates show rows of fashionable women in long belted coats, wide-brimmed hats and tailored peplum jackets, with small numbered line drawings of each garment's back view below. A designer could draw on the cinched waists, sweeping hemlines and layered millinery of the 1910s silhouette, and on the clean grid of model figures above sketched garment details.
