Fashion plate, from La Nouvelle Mode

This fashion plate is from La Nouvelle Mode, a weekly fashion journal published in Paris. Dated 1910, the plate is one in a collection of plates from the journal, compiled in a book entitled 'Book of Fashion Plates from La Nouvelle Mode: Fashions 1908-1911'.

The plate is numbered 36. Its French title translates as 'Prettiness in the evening'.

Styles produced at this time in some ways resembled early 19th century fashion. One major difference however, was in the materials and colours used. The 1800s saw an abundance of white or pale cottons and silks while the woman of the 1910s wore silk, chiffon and lace in bold shades.
