Fashion Journals and Magazines

Runs of early French fashion serials, journals, artist books and international magazines are a highlight of the Campbell-Pretty Fashion Research Collection and chart the symbiotic relationship between fashion and fashion media. Documenting the circulation of fashion news and imagery from the early nineteenth century onwards, alongside developments in politics and society, and advances in science and technology, publications such as Journal des dames et des modes, Les modes, Comoedia Illustré, Modes et manières d’aujourd’hui, Gazette du bon ton, Chiffons and Harper’s Bazaar provide a rich visual record of changing aesthetics and attitudes towards dress.
