The subject of today's update is the July 1929 issue of the Austrian illustrated Wiener Record Mode No. 104. The first issue to be published on artdeco-boulevard.de features fashionable summer dresses in bulk, although the weather of the normally hot summer month of July did not show its best side in Germany in 1929 either (weather data).

Moreover, this issue features evening dresses, ensembles and costumes, as well as beautiful fashion photography by Balazs, Becker & Maass and Madame d'Ora.

With today's update, another issue of the illustrated Modenschau No. 211 from July 1930 is publicly available. In this issue, in addition to fashionable summer dresses, evening dresses, afternoon dresses and beach fashion, you can find very interesting articles such as "Greta Garbo, the Type of Our Time", "The Woman in Pants" or even "The Clock as a Cook" also.

The data base of artdeco-boulevard.de contains now more than 3,200 pages!

The cover of the illustrated fashion magazine Modenschau No. 235 from July 1932 presents the latest swim and beach fashions for the hottest month of the year. Especially fashionable at that time were beach pajamas with very wide trousers. Among other things, trousers for women were also made popular by the film actress Marlene Dietrich. There is a full-page photo of her with her daughter on the second inside page.

This magazine is now complete with all its uploaded 64 pages.

Exactly 100 years ago, the issue of the French women's magazine Le Miroir des Modes appeared, which is the subject of today's update. The magazine was the counterpart to the US magazine Delineator.

In addition to swimwear, fashionable dresses and children's fashions, this June 1917 issue also featured an article entitled "Women and National Defense" (French "La femme et la défense nationale").

As a result, more than 3,100 pages are now online in the database.

Supplementing the 32 pages that were already online, the entire 108-page mail-order catalog of the New York department store Hamilton Garment Co. for spring and summer 1929 is now online in its entirety.

In addition to dresses, coats, underwear, shoes, handbags and hats for the well-dressed lady, the 1929 catalog of the former department store on New York's Fifth Avenue also features outerwear for girls and boys.
