Pénéla was a monthly women’s lifestyle magazine published in France throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The magazine was presented in a library format and was dedicated to fashion, style, beauty, home and garden decor, cooking and the arts. Alongside the many wonderful photos found inside a typical issue, Pénéla featured artist illustrations to accompany famous poems, quotes and short stories.
TVTA is pleased to present selected images from issues N°14 and N°15 from 1968, as part of an ongoing series of Pénéla.

Beautiful images! They seem rather empowered. Not just cooking, cleaning & make-up. J’adore

Hi, J. I agree about the look of empowerment there. The photography back then was top-notch, and helped give the designs and models a certain edge I think. I can never tire of seeing these images!
