In the October 1931 issue of Modenschau No. 226, the first transitional models for the winter of 1931/32 were presented. Evening coats and elegant dresses for society in slim, graceful lines alternated with children's fashions, visiting, afternoon and wedding dresses. Articles were devoted to "language as a mirror of the times," the "nervous child," or the "lady's stocking."

The New York department store Hamilton Garment Co. presented the collection for the cold season in the fall/winter catalog 1921-22. The deep waistline began to prevail. Costumes and dresses were enhanced with intricate embroidery. Four exclusive fur coats were of silk seal plush and mole cloth with fur collars and cuffs of Kolinsky coney (rabbit), beaver or Australian opossum. Fur scarfs and chokers made of Siberian wolf, Macedonian goat, red fox, southern sable, squirrel or marmot were every elegant lady's dream.

The French version of the German Modenschau La Coquette No. 140 for September 1924 showed on 20 pages the latest transitional models for the approaching fall season. For fall 1924 the basic line of fashion presented itself smooth and barely fitted. Fashion showed particular attention to practical coat dresses as well as calf-length, tight sheath skirts. Long smock blouses or models with tunics were much in vogue.

To mark the end of summer, 118 new pages from the Chicago Mail Order Co. catalog for spring/summer 1931 are published today—previously only 38 pages were online. In vogue were forehead-revealing hats for women and dresses with calf to ankle-length skirts. Low prices were referred to everywhere in the catalog—the decline in demand led to deflation in 1931, which was clearly reflected in the catalog prices.
