The Galerie des Modes has been called the "most beautiful collection in existence on the fashions of the eighteenth century." Published over a 10-year period, from 1778 to 1787, its plates were elegantly drawn, accurately engraved, and exquisitely hand colored by the most celebrated fashion artists of the era. This monument to costume illustration was reproduced by Emile L vy in Paris between 1911 and 1914. Here are 64 of the finest plates from the L vy edition, reproduced faithfully from the originals. Selected by costume historian Stella Blum, former Curator of Costumes at the Costume Institute of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, they offer a splendid representation of French fashion in the late eighteenth century.
The great social, economic, and political changes of the turbulent period that led to the Revolution in 1789 were reflected in its fashions: the influence on traditional women's costume of the dress of servants and country women; the exotic costumes of actresses; and the simpler, more practical English styles. Men's fashions were also affected by the English as well as by the exaggerated Italianate fashions sported by foppish "macaronis." Children's fashions include the one-piece mantelot, interesting as a forerunner of the attire of the sans-culottes. Special fashion terms, many of which have been obscured by time, are defined in a Glossary.

The best electric opener by far!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
This is the 3rd or 4th opener I've purchased in the last two years. This is by far the best! Top reasons this is the best: #1: it has opened every single bottle I've tried - even ones the other struggled with #2: press the button and let go; you don't have to hold the stupid button in (great for folks with bad thumbs) #3: I like the light #4: Battery level indicator and battery life ALL THIS translates to great value, ease of use, great cork removal The only thing I didn't like is that there is no stand per se (it rests on the foil cutter). Easily solved with several stands from the other inferior openers

Highly recommended for wine lovers☝️
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
I recently purchased an electric wine opener, and it has completely transformed my wine-drinking experience. This sleek gadget effortlessly uncorks bottles with just the push of a button, making it perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. The design is user-friendly, and the built-in LED light helps guide the process. I particularly appreciate how it works on various cork types without damaging them. The battery life is impressive; I can open several bottles on a single charge. Cleanup is a breeze, as the device is easy to store and doesn’t require any additional tools. Overall, I highly recommend an electric wine opener for anyone looking to enhance their wine experience with minimal effort. It’s a game-changer!
