Abstract: The primary aim of this article is to attempt to present the role of Dziennik Mód Paryskich [Journal of Parisian fashions] in the formation process of the democratic intelligentsia of Lviv – including writers, journalists, politicians, and artists. The creators of the periodical and its main editors (Tomasz Kulczycki, August Bielowski, Jan Dobrzański, Józef and Aleksander Dunin Borkowski) had ambitions to initiate liberal modernization processes in Galicia. The role played by Kulczycki’s biweekly at that time is difficult to overestimate from today’s perspective. We owe the magazine’s program, above all, knowledge about the ideas of reviving the concept of a Slavic Commonwealth. From the Lviv intelligentsia milieu centered around Dziennik Mód Paryskich also emerged a generation of outstanding journalists who, after 1848, contributed their writings to many Galician periodicals.
