Vogue Paris Originals, part two

Family commitments haven't left me with much sewing (or knitting) time this week, so here's a short, picture-heavy post about the second batch of Vogue Paris Original patterns. (You can read about the first batch here.) New Paris patterns were still front-page news, but not the main story - the featured pattern on the cover was Vogue Special Design 4008.

The Paris Original patterns did not appear until page 30.

The same eight designers featured, but this time they each had two designs. The main colour illustration was still accompanied by black and white sketches, but there were no longer any notes.

Lanvin, 1073 and 1064

Piguet, 1066 and 1059

Schiaparelli, 1068 qnd 1061

Molyneux, 1071 and 1058

Paquin, 1060 and 1067

Balmain, 1063 and 1072

Fath, 1065 and 1069

Heim, 1070 and 1062

At some point, I will look at how the stable of Paris Original designers changed over the years. But hopefully next week I will have some actual sewing to post about.
