The Little Echo of Art and Fashion “

Le Petit Écho de la Mode is a French weekly women’s magazine, founded in 1878. A year later, Charles de Penanster, senator from Côtes-du-Nord, and his wife, née Claire Le Roux, took it over. “Le Petit Journal de la Mode” becomes “Le Petit Echo de la Mode”. The success was dazzling, reaching 300,000 copies in 1900 and more than a million and a half every week in 1950, before disappearing in 1983.

The magazine has known different names from 1880 to the present day:

“Petit Echo de la Mode” from 1880 to 1955
“Echo of Fashion” from 1955 to 1977
“Small Echo of Fashion / Women of Today from 1977 to 1983

The Little Echo of Fashion

In 1880, Claire de Penanster became editor-in-chief under the pseudonym of Baronne de Clessy. The newspaper, sold at a low price, is a practical, family-owned weekly, primarily aimed at women. The editorial line is closer to social Catholicism.

The guiding principle of the magazine is fashion, the symbolism of which can be found on the cover. There are also themes from daily life including embroidery, cooking, education, good manners, furnishing advice. This journal gives tips and tricks for improving life.

The 4 main areas of the magazine

  • clothing: an inserted pattern makes it possible to dress the whole family in the latest Parisian fashion, with the fabrics we have on hand, from 1893;
  • culinary: cooking recipes can be concocted with inexpensive and balanced ingredients;
  • sanitary and hygienic: “grandmother’s remedies” avoid going to the doctor and therefore incurring heavy expenses;
  • cultural: articles allow the whole family to learn about the arts, sciences and history. In fact, in the 20th century, culture is no longer reserved only for the elite of society.

There are also contests, contests or episodic novels in detachable form from 1887. Between July 1919 and 1936, the newspaper took an interest in children, by publishing a special review, “Guignol,” Cinéma des Enfants “.

Echo of Fashion

Very quickly, the newspaper was a great success, which in 1955 made it one of the most important of the time. It was then that he became “L’Echo de la mode” in the bosom of the “Editions de Montsouris” group, whose prints represent 50% of the French press. However, the number of prints fell during the 1960s. The magazine disappeared in the mid-1970s despite the efforts of Raymond Loewy. He then joined “Women of Today”, who died a few years later.
