Old books are always so inspiring to me. I love the illustrated patterns in theĀ Journal Des Dames et Des Modes. The first edition came out in 1912 and the last one in 1914 due to the outbreak of World War I. Journal Des Dames was said to portray the most refined Parisian elegance and illustrated by the most gifted designers of the time. An original copy can be found at Manhattan Rare Books for $28, 000.
