Cabinet des Modes

Cabinet des Modes (from 1786 named Magasin des modes), was a French fashion magazine, published between 1785 and 1793.[1] It is recognized to be the first true fashion magazine in Europe.[2]

Cabinet des Modes, 1785.

The magazine was preceded by the Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français, but is considered to have been the first proper fashion magazine in Europe and the world. Its example was soon followed abroad by Journal des Luxus und der Moden (1786-1827) in Germany and Giornale delle Dame e delle Mode di Francia in Italy (1786-1794).

It was discontinued in 1793 during the reign of Robespierre, and succeeded after his fall by the Journal des dames et des modes.
