Frühjahr und Sommer, 1918

1918 · 6 pictures

A 1918 German-language spring and summer catalogue of women's coats and suits, produced in Switzerland for retail customers choosing fashionable outerwear. The plates are full-length fashion figures in dark coats with belts, wide collars and matching hats, rendered in fine black-and-white engraved line; a designer could take their strong silhouettes, wide lapels and cinched waists as period reference for tailored outerwear and millinery shapes.
