Annis Fur Post was founded in 1887 by Isaac Newton Annis 1858-1939 who had started collecting furs around his home in southern Michigan as a young man. In 1880 he was employed by Frederick Buhl and Company a Detroit fur pioneer in the manufacturing department and remarkably by August 1887 on a capital of less than $1000 Annis started in business for himself with four employees. By the 1920s he had over 120 employees and was a major supplier to the American fashion trade. The business continued successfully until the 1980s when changing tastes forced scaling back and eventual closure. This beautifully produced catalogue is highly evocative the oh-so luxurious and stylish 20s. Detroit: Newton Annis, paperback‎

‎Parfums Lucien Lelong.‎

‎Paris: Lucien Lelong 13 rue Alphonse de Neuville 1949. Octavo. Original plain boards in cream wrapper front panel with company device embossed within debossed cartouche. 10 chromolithographic plates after illustrations by Cassandre and similarly printed plates from photographs of the perfume bottles themselves by Réné Messager. Wrappers a little rubbed and irregularly toned spine slightly chipped at ends repair to short split at head of front joint contemporary gift inscription to front free endpaper else very good. First edition rare with no other copies traced of this spectacular promotional brochure for Lelong's fragrances. Largely forgotten today apart from amongst the couture cognoscenti Lelong 1889–1958 was enormously influential. After the First World War Lelong took charge of his parents' small fashion house which was noted for its espousal of the modern look—the chic autobiographical heroine of Colette's 1908 novella Les Vrilles de la vigne is dressed by Lelong—and continued their tradition of innovation advancing the concept of the "kinétique" clothes "constructed in such a way that their true shape would emerge in movement not at rest". Not a designer himself he employed a number of young designers who were later to strike out on their own. Christian Dior Pierre Balmain and Hubert de Givenchy all spent time developing collections for Lelong. His contribution to the success of the house was in his vision and his marketing brilliance: he redesigned his parents' salon decorating entirely in black so that it was said to resemble a black-lined jewellery box he offered discounts to society women who agreed to be photographed in his dresses and was early into the branded perfume market. The first fragrances offered by Lelong were enigmatically named A B C J and N intending to evoke a sense of mystery and romance. The artfully designed bottles were largely the work of Lelong himself. Over 30 years he created a total of 27 different fragrances. This superbly produced catalogue features ten suitably mysterious and evocative plates by Cassandre né Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron the Ukrainian-born French painter illustrator poster designer and typographer probably best-known for his imposing poster for the great CGT liner Normandie.

First edition of this scarce and beautifully printed fashion magazine which was published under this title only from 1894 through 1896 when it was forced to change the name to The Standard Designer after losing a lawsuit brought by the Butterick Publishing Co. against Frank Koewing d. 1933 their former western sales manager for Butterick. Founded in 1887 the Standard Fashion Co. would eventually become a serious rival to the Butterick Pattern Co. appropriating the “Delineator†for his magazine poaching employees and eventually building the company to issuing over 100000 cut patterns a week. While often facing bankruptcy and litigious to a fault the company was acquired as a subsidiary in 1900 by Butterick and the combined companies would thrive through the ensuing decades. Each of the Standard Delineator magazine issues featured a large chromolithograph frontispiece of the latest fashions as well as a smaller one of millinery designs.

‎Archive of Drawings Watercolors and Pastels of Women's Fashion‎

‎np New York ca. 1955. Very good. 18 large completed plus 6 smaller loose portraits executed in pen & ink with watercolor or guache on paper. Large works all approx. 19" x 12"; smaller 12.5" x 9". With a large 17" x 12" spiral-bound artist's notebook containing eight additional color studies plus one sketch. Also includes 18 other loose preliminary works various sizes and media - including one brief series of Shakespearean costume design. Most SIGNED by the artist. Generally very good or better overall. <br/><br/>Lovely selection of original fashion art depicting various women's runway dresses all ca. 1955. We have been unable to discover much about the artist Mr. Leigh. But he was clearly an accomplished designer colorist and draftsman. We do know he was based in New York City and assume given the professional skill with which these works were executed that he likely worked in the industry either for a designer or a fashion magazine. The portraits themselves are quintessentially post-war in their style and taste clearly indebted to VOGUE and their artists. A beautiful primary collection of 1950s high fashion. unknown books‎

Four real black and white photo images on semi-gloss stock of the windows of Meier & Frank at night. Founded in 1857 at the time of these images Meier & Frank humorously referred to locally as Murphy & Finnigan's was the largest retail outlet west of the Mississippi one of the largest in the country. These four salesman's sample photos from the 20s offer an invaluable historical reference for the marketing of women's fashions at the height of the Jazz Age. Two of the photos include distinctive art deco themes with Ikebana-inspired flower arrangements amongst geometric display elements. The styles include typically 20s drop-waisted dresses in one and cocktail or party dresses with full skirts in chiffon in the other. Another creates a fantastic formalised setting incorporating a large French Madame Pompadour-style fan in the background with heavy brocade swags interspersed with large Asparagus Ferns in jardinières; while the other identified as "Spring" on a small placard - includes an Italianate garden terrace setting with amphorae and rose-twined balusters.

The fabric samples have been supplied by Lebotys a couture design firm in its own right and highly regarded for the quality of its textiles. As we find record of Lebotys having issued catalogues of its own collections in both the 1930s and 1960s we speculate that the two firms collaborated for a limited time possibly due to continuing post-war shortages and the need to adapt to the rapidly changing clothing market of the 1950s. The late 1950s saw a revolution in French fashion — and by extension Western fashion in general — due in no small part to the influence of material factors underlying the purely aesthetic side of the industry: availability of fabric continuing technological advances in synthetics and the surging post-war economies of America and Europe. The reluctant expansion of haute couture into the ready-to-wear market during the latter half of the century and the increasing reliance on synthetic fabrics to meet the demand would ultimately spell a major shift in the industry one that would impact fashion trends for decades to come. Some fashion houses like Dior whose “New Look” revitalized fashion at the beginning of the decade successfully managed to adapt by issuing couture ready-to-wear lines. Some however even long-established houses survived the war only to be undone by the prosperity that followed. The collaboration here of Société Paritys and Lebotys as well as the fabrics offered and styles displayed leads us to infer that the two firms were likely targeting the growing ready-to-wear market. The fabrics include a variety of silks cottons wools mohair etc. as well as nylon fibranne rayon Rhodia tergal crylor acetate and other “Matieres Synthètiques” often in blends and advertising their washable and/or antiwrinkling qualities. The styles in the illustrations still heavily influenced by the “New Look” emphasize wasp-waisted dresses hourglass silhouettes etc. No copies located on OCLC nor the major French institutions as searched on KVK.
