History of Atelier Bachwitz
Operating officially from 1898-1958, Atelier Bachwitz / Bachwitz AG was an international publishing house that produced and distributed fashion designs and lifestyle magazines from the Palais des Beaux Arts building at Löwengasse 47 in the third district of Vienna. Initiated by Arnold Bachwitz, the publishing house was handled primarily by himself, his wife Rosine, and their daughters Alice and Margarethe until the rise of National Socialism. In 1938, after Austria was annexed into the German Third Reich, the administrative board of the company fell under the rule of the Nuremberg Race Laws and underwent Aryanization as part of the effort to “de-Jew the economy”. As a result of this seizure, the board – comprised mostly of the Bachwitz family – was replaced, their publishing rights to several fashion magazines revoked. In the span of only four years, the original inhabitants of the Palais des Beaux Arts Wien had been almost entirely erased.
The Bachwitz’s topical and seasonal journals included The Fashion Designer, Chic Parisien (1898-1939), The Large Mode (1900-1922), The Elegant Woman (1900-1929), The Coming Season (1920-1938), Les Tailleurs Charmants (1939), and Moderne Welt (1918-1939). A number of their publications were printed in multiple languages (German, French, English and Russian) and distributors of their publications were listed in Paris, Vienna, London, Berlin, Brussels, Milan, Lisbon, New York, Prague, Bucharest, Minsk, Madrid, Barcelona, Auckland, Melbourne and Warsaw.
