Literature Love // Nostalgic Advertising

Whilst we've been in the studio this week we've been flicking through these cute little vintage fashion ad books from the 50s and 60s. Full of witty advertisements, tongue in cheek captions and quirky illustrations, we fell in love with the humorous yet scathing sarcasm and ironic quips.

Here's a few of our favourites...


Terribly Tickled by 50s Puns. "Try this on for Sighs"

Gorgeous 50s Underwear Ads.

60s - Awesome fonts, crazy legs, wicked moves.

Oh so beautiful. Dreamy whimsical 60s undie ads.

In comes the sarcasm - "How come all non-conformists look the same?" asks Simplicity. The Sanforized ad is hilarious - Beatniks taking a stand against their unshrinkable clothing. So, so clever!

Razor sharp wit... for interesting ladies only.

Very inspired by these ads, we may be taking notes with our very first look book in mind...

Hope you all have a nice weekend sweets :)

Much love,
