The Mondrian Look of Yves Saint Laurent

Vogue Pattern Fashion News, 1966

Vogue 1556: A marvelous this-moment dress, very young....with high yoke, hem band and sleeve cuffs in perfectly proportioned contrast.

Vogue 1557: The geometrics of Mondrian. Young, bold proportions of black and white-rectangle of color-hemlines ruled-this is the terse, crisp look of young dressing.

Vintage McCall's Style News, May 1953 #1

New vintage pattern book, McCall's May, 1953.
My plan is to scan the pattern books, catalogs and flyers that I have collected in the next couple of months. Part of the reason to do this is to have a way to archive these in case they get left laying around and, let's say a cat, not naming any names here (Cheif) decides to lounge around on the fragile paper, putting ~~his~~ their claws into said pattern book periodically.
Bad kitty.

and Nancy, of course you can snag these.....anyone else, you all can use them of course (I would never watermark an image that I did not create, I didn't produce these, just own the books and am scanning them. Yes I have issues.) just credit back to me.
