The first edition of *Le Livre à la mode*, printed in green ink in 1759, was followed by a second version printed in red, dedicated “To the Gentlemen and Ladies of Fashion.” In it, the author satirizes the frivolity of worldly elegance and snobbery, making the very color of the printing a fashion statement; words and expressions in vogue are printed in italics.
