Author:
Très Parisien (French, 1920-1936)
Description
Fashion plate taken from a publication of 'Très Parisien' from the early 1920s.

The illustration depicts a woman in a peach coat with black fur trim on collar and cuffs. She is wearing a black cloche hat with square designs, similar to those on the coat itself, and is carrying a black fur muff in her hands. Muffs had largely fallen out of fashion in the early 20th century, considered cumbersome, but they were still a practical item, and had an air of luxury when designed to match a stylish coat.
