Beautifully preserved within their sturdy bindings, these editions are a true highlight for any collection.

This remarkable bound volume from 1956-1958 offers a fascinating collection of fashion highlights, with 384 pages featuring exquisite Prêt-à-Porter and Haute Couture, capturing the styles of both French and Italian designers of the era.

The pages are predominantly black-and-white for the Collections issues, while the La Donna issues include a few color pages and fashion illustrations. The paper quality is superb, and the overall condition is excellent, with only minor general signs of wear to the pages. The fabric cover shows signs of wear (see photo).

Please note that the issues included in our bound volumes are not necessarily complete and the pages are not necessarily bound in the correct order due to the binding process. We do our best to include any specifications in the listings, but due to the sheer volume of this collection (over 20,000 pages), it is not possible to consider every last detail.
