ters on Style for Ladies à la Mode: French 19th-Century Fashion Plates

French fashion exerted a strong influence on European tastes in the 19th century and one way in which it did so was via fashion magazines and fashion plates. In her article to accompany the exhibition “Richard Wagner and the Nationalization of Feeling”, Valeria Butera of the Applied Arts and Graphics department describes how these publications not only disseminated the very latest dictates of fashion and elegance, but also indirectly documented the habits and customs of a whole society.
