Description
«La Vie Parisienne» was a French weekly magazine founded in Paris in 1863 and was published without interruption until 1970.
It was hugely successful because it combined a new mix of subjects—short stories, veiled gossip and fashion banter. Alongside this the magazine also reflected the changing interests and values of the start of the 20th century population such as fashion and frivolity.
“Figure de cotillon” is translated from French as “Figure of petticoat”.
