Background “Modes de Paris” fashion plates influenced women’s dress trends across Europe in the mid-19th century, setting standards for elegance and ornamentation. The term "Modes de Paris" appeared on high-quality fashion plates within French ladies' magazines. "Modes de Paris" was a phrase and a label, not a standalone magazine title. It was used in the heading of fashion plates within various French ladies' magazines, particularly the "Petit Courrier des Dames, Journal des Modes", to indicate that the illustrated clothing and accessories were from Paris. These magazines, popular after the Napoleonic Wars, featured these plates, showcasing specific garments and advertising Parisian dressmakers, hairdressers, florists, and jewellers. The "Modes de Paris" label essentially signified Parisian fashion trends of the time. The magazine, "Petit Courrier des Dames, Journal des Modes", in particular, was successful, with one of its features being the "Modes de Paris" fashion plates.
