AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage magazine titled Pernelle, issue number 2, features a cover with the typical aesthetic of the 1980s, recognizable by the graphic layout of its title in red letters on a checkered background. The cover photograph showcases a woman wearing a textured white pullover, with voluminous hair characteristic of the fashion of that decade. At the bottom of the cover, colorful fruits (apples, oranges) are visible, along with a newspaper or booklet whose visible page bears the mention "Sommaire" (Contents).

The inscriptions printed in pink on the cover announce the magazine's content: "Casual and refined Autumn-Winter Collection," "Featured: gray in all shades," "For young and old: 35 models to knit now," "cozy items, sweaters, timeless pieces." These elements confirm that it is a magazine dedicated to fashion and knitting patterns, with proposals for the whole family.

The graphic style, photography, and overall presentation of the magazine strongly evoke women's magazines or specialized fashion/knitting press from the early to mid-1980s, a period when magazines regularly offered DIY patterns, with an emphasis on autumn-winter.

The "Pernelle" logo occupies the upper part of the cover, while "N°2" is located at the bottom left. The price "16F" (French francs) is visible at the bottom right, dating the item to before the introduction of the euro.

The item presented is a paper magazine with a soft cover, in good overall condition according to the visible side: the cover shows no major tears or folds, although slight signs of wear or age marks may be noticeable on the edges.

Condition

Did you know? The Pernelle magazine was part of the French specialized fashion and knitting press in the 1980s, at a time when DIY patterns were very popular, especially among families and creative hobby enthusiasts. The price displayed in French francs also recalls the era before the switch to the euro in France (2002).
