Fashion plate, from La Nouvelle Mode

This fashion plate is from La Nouvelle Mode, a weekly fashion journal published in Paris. Dated 1909, 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 46 and is signed by the artist 'Drian' who also produced many plates for the French publication 'Gazette du Bon Ton'. The French title of this plate translates as 'Fashionable suppleness'.

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.
