After seven months, a new update follows today with a total of 72 images from the spring and summer catalog of Philipsborn's from 1921. 31 of these images are in spring-like color printing, which belied the recession of 1920/21 in the USA.

In addition, the Fashion 1930 page has been fully furnished with footnotes.

In total, there are now well over 1,500 images online! Have fun browsing!

After a longer break and technical difficulties Zwischenkriegszeit.de is back with some new features. In order to keep the Fashion Development page clear after a text extension and in view of further extensions, the overview page on World War I fashion has been made into a separate page.

All 22 old images as well as 28 new images from the Charles William Stores catalog of 1927 have been uploaded in better quality. Also, from now on, itemized references to all new texts will be included. If you want to support me in my work, there is now also the possibility of a donation to Zwischenkriegszeit.de, which you can find in the imprint.

After a break of more than one year, there is finally a new update today. A revised and extended text for the Fashion Year 1930 has already been online for quite some time, but just a few days ago three new images were added to the year 1930.

There are also 19 new pictures from the Illustrated Modenschau No. 214 from October 1930 online in the photo gallery. In this issue there are coats and afternoon and evening dresses of the winter 1930-31 to admire.

The expansion of the new page The Twenties is slowly progressing. To highlight the growing importance of cinema on society and fashion of the twenties, the texts "Film becomes an influential mass medium" and "Film stars as fashion icons" have been added.

In addition, 16 new fashion illustrations from the Illustrated Modenschau No. 213 from September 1930 are now online.

After the First World War, fashion returned to the pre-war period. But the inflation caused by the war leaves behind a high price level from which the ready-to-wear fashion of the mail-order houses is not unaffected.

68 pages of fashion from the Charles William Stores spring and summer catalog of 1919 give a great impression of the immediate post-war fashion. Also 10 new fashion illustrations and again scanned better quality illustrations from the Charles William Stores Fall and Winter 1925-26 catalog follow with today's update. Over 1,400 pages of fashion are now online on the Zwischenkriegszeit.de site.

To improve clarity and to give more room for expansion, two topics from Fashion Development have been transferred to their own pages - The Twenties & The Thirties.
