A very rare and especially beautiful issue of the French edition of Vogue.


Dated 1st September (in French '1er Septembre') 1921. French Vogue began in June 1920 so not only is this is a true antique but a very early edition. 

Fabulous cover illustration by Georges Lepape.

This issue features - 


2 full page plates of a model photographed wearing Lucile designs (see pic).  Further on in this magazine there are 3 sketches of Lucile designs which are printed on a separate third page dedicated to Lucile.  2 of the illustrations are shown here.

Eyre de Lanux draws designs by Vionnet - seen 2nd photo, 2nd page. On the left is a photo of women wearing Givenchy and illustrated Jean Patou gowns.

Worth and Lanvin full page fashion plate illustrated by Benito.

Mrs John Barrymore has her photograph taken by Arnold Gentle - full page.

Children in fashion of the day, 2 pages of several photos.

Portrait of Lucile by Rehbinder.

Paul Poiret, Premet, Lanvin & Molyneux art deco designs throughout.

Also - Bridal fashion. The Fairchilds. The Vanderbilt's house and interiors. Pamela Bianco. Men's fashion.

The back cover is a stunning advert for Bernard, with artist credited as Charles Guerin - see 3rd photo. Amazingly rare artifact. These early issues of Vogue are extremely difficult to find.
