EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate from "L'Art de la Coiffure de Dames" takes us back to the elegant world of 18th-century Parisian hairstyles. Published in 1767 by Sieur Legros, coiffeur to Queen Marie Leczinska, this print showcases the intricate and influential styles that were popular during that era. The image depicts a stunning female model adorned with a meticulously crafted hairdo. Ribbons delicately weave through her locks, adding an extra touch of sophistication to her already glamorous appearance. The attention to detail is remarkable, highlighting the skill and artistry required by both the stylist and the wearer. "L'Art de la Coiffure de Dames" was one of the earliest teaching manuals for hairstyling techniques. It served as a guide for hairdressers seeking inspiration and instruction on creating fashionable looks for their clients. This particular print has been translated into English, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance even more. As we gaze upon this fascinating piece of history preserved in the Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, we are transported back in time when hairdressing was not just about grooming but also an expression of style and status. It reminds us that fashion trends may change over centuries, but our desire to look our best remains timeless.
