Fashion Friday

It's been awhile since we've done a Fashion Friday post, but we're back at it with the French magazine La Mode! La Mode began in 1896 in Paris and was printed by Le Gérant : E. Durand. I was unable to find out much else about it, partially because its title was part of the titles of other French fashion magazines from the period—but we do know that the printers also printed Le Petit Journal, a popular daily newspaper.

This issue is no. 38 from September 21, 1923 and features a very fashionably dressed woman on the cover. The text at the bottom is an ad for the fabric dye brand Twink and says (translated from French): "Twink allows you to inexpensively dye your babies' pretty dresses." The issue also includes features on hats, coats, and one on the use of embroidered fabrics in interior design. There is also a supplement included with a design pattern (shown in the last image).

Most of the fashions included in this issue are in preparation for chilly fall weather, so let's let it inspire us to enjoy the warm sunny days of summer while we have them!

Bunny Brunch: Easter with the Dutch Lolita Community

Reported by Liv Lotte

I myself wore the ‘Pastel a la Mode’ onepiece by Angelic Pretty and red rocking horse shoes to match the oldschool theme of the dress. To add more of a nostalgic ‘oldschool vibe’ to the left image, I edited it to look a bit like an old KERA magazine page. I had loads of fun with that!

All in all, it was a really successful day and everyone looked totally fabulous. I hope you had a lovely Easter (or other spring celebration) as well and I wish a happy spring to you all!
