This booklet was published in 1956. I just love how elegant the models are. They look so very, very poised. It is called “Stoles, Capes, Shorties” and most of the styles would still look very nice today.

Here are some of my favorite looks (clicking on the links will open the image in a new window or tab):

I especially like the last one. Look at that bendy posture. It is a bit like Dorian Leigh who, according to Wikipedia at least, seems to have a bigger claim to the First Super Model claim than Janice Dickinson ever could.

Now Ms. Leigh had some major spine control. Is her head on backwards here?

I really love looking through the vintage craft zines. There have been some really killer ones through the ages. It’s lots of fun to explore the different styles and images too.
