Reading fashion magazines became a sign of a good taste, and since the beginning of the 18th century they settled in the boudoirs of actresses, singers and public Figures. By that time, Europe had published several magazines, mostly fashion. They included German "Gournal des Luxus und des Moden", British "The Lady's Magazine" and "Gallery of Fashion". France concurrently published as many as four fashion magazines. All of them were illustrated with color drawings or engravings representing the smallest details of new clothes.
