Getting ready for Deauville.

The parsienne is already enjoying foretastes of the idyllic delights of country life. Thanks to her car, which has become absolutely indispensable, she can sleep at St. Germain or Rambouillet or Versailles without missing tea-time at the Restaurant de Madrid or Armenonville or the Polo Club, at the same time keeping an interested and amused eye on the process of making new frocks for Deauville. This is really the most important matter on hand at present.

Small coats. Art-Goût-Beauté July 1923.


We have not yet discarded the toilettes that we wore with so much success at Chantilly, Auteuil and Longchamp, and we are already thinking about the new ones which we hope will bring us another crop of compliments when we show them, and ourselves, on the “Plage Fleurie” at Deauville. I hear wonderful accounts of the lace dresses that are being made by Callot, Jenny and Doeuillet.

Auguste Racinet. The Costume History by Françoise Tétart-Vittu.

Racinet's Costume History is an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; and a rich source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in clothing and style. Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume historique was in its day the most wide-ranging and incisive study of clothing ever attempted.

Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through to the end of the 19th century, the six volume work remains completely unique in its scope and detail. “Some books just scream out to be bought; this is one of them.” ― Vogue.com

Couture: then and now Clothes define people. A person's clothing, whether it's a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential key to his or her culture, class, personality, or even religion. The Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothing sociologically, historically, and artistically.
