Adele-Anaïs Toudouze

Anaïs Toudouze (née Adele-Anaïs Colin; 1822–1899) was a French fashion plate illustrator, born in Ukraine.

All of the siblings were artists and Héloïse and Anaïs worked closely together on many projects for fashion plate illustrations and had similar styles.

[2] Anaïs' father was a supporter of the Romantic movement and close friends to Eugène Delacroix, Théodore Gericault, and Paul Gavarni.

[2] Unlike other female artists during this time, the Colin sisters did not keep to historical or religious themes that were considered high art, and were encouraged by their father to learn proper techniques although they did not receive official academic training.

La Mode was distributed weekly and highlighted Victorian fashion trends of the time including accessories to go with the piece.

Her main competitor who also did fashion plates was Jules David, a painter and lithographer who worked with Adolphe Goubaud, a publisher.

Anaïs ended up having a slightly more successful career than her sister Héloïse due to the fact she lived longer and had a larger collection of work.
