Creators
Chester Beatty Library

A century after the publication of the fashion magazine Journal des Dames et des Modes (1912-1914), the Chester Beatty Library exhibited over 100 of the Journal's unique fashion illustrations, known as Costumes Parisiens. This virtual exhibition by Google Arts and Culture provides a brief introduction to the Journal, the artists and designers represented, and the fashion and clothing of the period, through a stunning collection of vividly illustrated fashion plates.
