"Manchon: A Fashionable Accessory Through the Ages" From the elegant Parisienne sur le boulevard to the charming Physionomies taken on the railway, manchons have always been a symbol of style and sophistication. Dating back centuries, these fur or fabric mufflers known as "manchon" in French have adorned women's outfits, adding both warmth and glamour. In Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Manchon, we see various depictions of this fashionable accessory. A woman in a house gown of coral-print silk over linen looks effortlessly chic with her delicate manchon complementing her ensemble. Another lady dons a zibeline coat with collar and cuffs in matching fur, showcasing how manchons were often made from luxurious materials. The fashion evolution continues with a woman dressed in an embroidered dress of duvetin trimmed with otter. This 1913 attire exudes opulence and highlights the versatility of manchons as they can be paired with different fabrics and textures. Similarly, another image features a woman wearing a country outfit consisting of crepe-de-chine jacket along with her trusty manchon. Artists like Jean Beraud captured the allure of these accessories through their paintings such as Parisienne sur le boulevard ou woman au manchon. The artwork portrays a stylish lady strolling confidently down the street while clutching her beloved muff close to her side. Not only limited to fashion illustrations, manchons also found their way into caricatures like Leon Manchon's depiction from c. 1858. This charcoal drawing showcases humor alongside elegance as it playfully exaggerates certain features while still highlighting the presence of this coveted accessory. Even studies focusing on mid-body women sailing on heads or holding sleeves emphasize how important manchons were during that era - they were not just mere accessories but rather statements reflecting one's social status and taste for fashion.
