Another 147 pages from the Bellas Hess & Co. mail order catalogue from fall and winter 1920-21 have been published - so far only 33 pages were online. Wide Directoire cape collars on ladies' coats, wide, opulent woven fur coats and street costumes with rich embroidery were highly in vogue in 1920, while the waistline gradually began to shift downwards.

Over 6,300 pages are now available in the database of artdeco-boulevard.de.

Now the Modenschau issue no. 214 from October 1930 is also complete - so far only 20 pages have been online. The simple day and afternoon dresses are joined in the fashion section by several models with autumn costumes and winter coats with rich fur trimmings.

Text contributions were dedicated to the topics "Beauty in old age", "Living silhouettes" (silhouette animation films by Lotte Reiniger, 1899-1981) or the topic "Civilization and childlessness".

Women's coats made of bouclé, velour, crewl and marengo fabric with Persian, silver fox opossum, shiraz or lambskin collars are shown in the 8-page catalog of the Nuremberg fashion house Thomas Rupp for Fall/Winter 1933. In addition to coats, the catalog also presents youthful dresses, afternoon and evening gowns.

The consistent use of photographs by the Berlin studio Bruno Winterfeld makes the catalogue appear modern even today.
