Bound Vintage Fashion Magazine Issues - FEMME CHIC 1953 1954

We are thrilled to present a collection of 50 bound volumes of international fashion magazines from the 1950s and 1960s, including Vogue, L’Officiel Paris, L’Art et la Mode, and more. Each bound volume contains multiple issues featuring breathtaking fashion photography and illustrations by renowned artists. These rare pieces offer invaluable insights for collectors and archives, serve as a rich source of inspiration for the creative industry, and are a must-have for anyone passionate about vintage fashion. Beautifully preserved within their sturdy bindings, these editions are a true highlight for any collection.

This volume contains 362 pages from Femme Chic issues covering Spring 1953, Summer 1953, Fall/Winter 1953/54, and Winter 1954, holding a stunning collection of French Haute Couture fashion.

The volume features a mixture of black-and-white pages, a few color pages, and several beautiful fashion illustrations. The paper quality is exceptional, with some pages nearly cardboard-thick, adding a luxurious feel to the publication.

The condition is overall excellent, with very fresh, flat pages. There are some minor imperfections, such as a tear-out (Spring 1953, p. 81/82), and several pages from Summer 1953 are torn at the bottom. Additionally, one page from the Fall/Winter 1953 issue is missing.

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.
