I have long felt that Jean Dessés is an under rated mid century designer, a creative mind able to shape fabric into myriad forms through drapes and pleats and geometries. This #1950s gown is a burst of sunshine on this, the day of his birth #sandyschreier @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Roberto Capucci’s name in fashion is synonymous with structural shapes and geometry in cloth, often clean lines and block colours. Here he offers a more fluted, softer aesthetic with his mid #1950s dress and velvet coat #UffiziGalleries #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A new role dress made of many fabric layers of petal like shapes that create a full knee length skirt and the same at the bodice with a waist sash that cinches the middle. It is shown with a purple velvet coat in the same shade

Pain got the better of me yesterday (bloomin’ hips!) but an impromptu hobble along the sea front this morning helped me to regain some perspective. That and codeine. Imagining a stroll in an early #1950s Carolyn Schnurer frock @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A slide photo my father took; Nikolski, Aleutian Islands, circa 1958. With cryptic minimalism, he labelled the slide: NIKOLSKI VILLAGE - STREAM. There's an otherworldly air to the photo. #35mm #1950s #alaska #aleutianislands #nikolski #village

A slide photo by Bruce W. Falk, depicting the village of Nikolski, with a scattering of houses, buildings, and a church. The landscape is treeless, with low hills, an overcast sky, and a stream. -JBF

There are gloves. And then there are GLOVES! These beautifully madly extravagant gloves in verdant velvet are pure #Schiaparelli, early #1950s and utterly de trop #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Oh just some ole thing I slung on for an evening in front of the TV, is it a bit too much? Jacques Fath casually (but not really) draping some teal satin over one shoulder that drapes into a stole should a chill descend, mid #1950s @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
