“Femina”, founded in 1901 by publisher Pierre Lafitte, is one of the first women's magazines in France. It provided information on modern trends, especially in fashion, while offering readers inspiration from current styles. The magazine also documented the Parisian fashion scene, highlighting the creations of major couture houses. Its publication ended before World War II, but it remains a key reference in the history of women's press and fashion. This illustration, published January 1, 1912, from “Femina”, features a photographic composition showcasing a line of mannequins. The focus is on the sleeves of the garments, emphasizing the details and variety of sleeve styles in women's fashion at the time. (C. Evans)
