Thank you Louise over at digsfrocksandbooks.blogspot.com for the great post on the 50s American model Jean Patchett. I just loved this photo so much I had to share it. The way the the photo has been cropped, the divine dress and the mood created when the model is not looking at the camera. Jean Patchett has such an intelligent expression on her face ... very pensive. Would love a blow-up of this one for the wall.
I just love this cornflower blue linen vintage late 40s to early 50s dress I have just listed for sale on vintageclothing.com.au
With the Melbourne Cup so near I thought I would share this beguiling photo I stumbled across by Frank Horvat taken at Longchamp racetrack in 1958. The model is wearing a stunning hat by Givenchy. Don't the men look elegant too.
Sorry, due to illness I haven't been blogging but hopefully am back on track now.
I have just listed this gorgeous 2pce outfit on vintageclothing.com.au and had to share it with you. I get so excited when I see an original 1950s garment in such pristine condition. This little number looks just as it would back when it was first made. So pretty and versatile being a top and skirt. The skirt would look fabulous with a little white teeshirt also and I can just see the top worn over your favourite jeans. Love it. Made from a lovely cotton and the label is Kerrybrooke for the department store Sears Roebuck.
Gorgeous 1950s vintage, mocha-coloured, lace dress labelled Neiman Marcus. Just love the new-look styling made famous by Dior in the late 40s. This would make a stunning wedding dress. Please have a look at vintageclothing.com.au
Louis Vuitton (top) channels Jodie Foster from Taxi Driver (bottom 2 pics) in his Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Jodi's outfit wouldn't look at all out of place on the streets today. Especially love those red suede platforms.
