Winter season fashion
Due to the forthcoming season of the year and first bites of ground frosts, we would like to present a few propositions of autumn-winter ready-to-wears from different periods of 20th century. Most of the can be found in woman-dedicated press, but in collections of the Digital Libraries Federation there are also lots of publicity catalogues and booklets of specific fashion houses. The National Digital Museum in Warsaw has many catalogues like that, among others: the catalogue of women clothes of Révillon Freres for the winter season, the fashion house P.M. Grunwaldt in Paris for 1905/1906 season, the fashion house of Bogusław Herse in Warsaw and the adveritisng booklet of fashion house High-Life Tailor in Paris for 1901/1902 winter season. Magazines containing fashionable winter clothes can be found in the Digital Library of the University of Warsaw e-BUW or in the National Digital Library POLONA. In e-BUW there are titles like Fashion: the illustrated woman’s newspaper; Bazar: weekly newspaper of fashion and handcrafts; The Weekly Newspaper of Fashion and Literature; whereas in POLONA there is the Fashion Review and many different booklets like What will bring the winter fashion? or Female skiing clothes from Bogusław Herse fashion house in Warsaw. Interesting winter dresses of 19th century can be found in the magazine Parisian Fashion available in the Digital Library of the Łódź University however trends of the interwar period are visible also in press not dedicated to the fashion subject, for example in the Jilustracja Polska magazine placed in the Digital Library of Wielkopolska.
