Automne & hiver, 1927/28
Automne & Hiver, 1927/28 is a Swiss fashion plate book of women's autumn and winter coats and suits, issued in 1927 for dressmakers and buyers choosing winter garments. The pictures show stylised 1920s women in long coats with fur collars, cloche hats and belted or straight-cut silhouettes, rendered in muted browns, greys and taupes. A designer could take the restrained palette, the layered tonal shading and the dropped-waist, fur-trimmed coat shapes as period reference for vintage fashion graphics.
