Bound Vintage Fashion Magazine Issues - L'ALBUM DU FIGARO 1951, 1952, 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 extraordinary bound volume includes 362 pages from Album Figaro with issues from December 1951, March-April 1952, September-October 1953, and March-April 1954 (this issue is included twice in this volume), showcasing a remarkable collection of French Haute Couture fashion.

With a mixture of black-and-white and color pages, this volume contains two stunning color ads per issue, including a standout Christian Dior ad by René Gruau. The volume includes an intriguing view into French Haute Couture from a lesser known publication, featuring designers such as Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, and Lanvin-Castillo, and offering a delightful glimpse into both fashion and cultural lifestyle.

The condition is overall excellent, with dog-eared pages on the first 20 or so pages and page 51/52 of September-October 1953 being torn out.

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.
