Early edition of this scarce and unusually complete sample catalogue for men and young men’s suits featuring the Syracuse Parkway Collegian Kenwood Wall Street & Walton styles from Sears Roebuck & Co. These special sample catalogues were issued as supplements to their famous catalogue which were issued in millions of copies even during the Great Depression. These catalogues were more expensive to produce and were intended to provide a reasonable alternative to the larger Men’s suit purveyors such as J.L. Taylor M. Born and others. This catalogue provides invaluable illustrated historical reference for the colours styles and fabrics during the era of fashion influenced by the elegance and glamor of Hollywood films at the time. There is definite evidence of influence from the popular Film Noir films of the period. The men’s suits showed a trend towards padded shoulders suit lapels that were not as long and an increased weight and drape to the clothes as well as wider legs for the younger “fast” crowd.

1978ref. 1003704Westport Connecticut: Here & There 1978. September 1978 issue of Here & There Francine Horn's groundbreaking fashion trend report focusing on haute couture Japanese fashion and resort wear: "The posh stuff is back in line for Fall '78." Forecasting a year in advance the pages reveal trendsetting European designs for Fall 1979 alongside their American counterparts with lively editorial commentary. The opening chapters celebrate the return of haute couture and its translation to ready-to-wear led by St. Laurent and Givenchy and inspired by Hollywood glamour Chesterfield overcoats and vintage cocktail looks. The coverage of American resort wear highlights the role of the fashion illustrator in forecasting. Because those collections were presented in private showrooms that prohibited photography Here & There charged their "much overworked illustrator Mr. Frank Spina with the prodigious task of capturing with his 'rapacious rapidograph' the highlights of these resort collections" which included designs by Bill Blass Norma Kamali Perry Ellis and Willie Smith. Both a major trade publication and a savvy ad for Francine Horn's fashion trend consultancy Here & There was an industry must-read a success due in part to her husband David Charles Horn's candid photography and provocative editorials. Like most fashion forecasting reports from the 1970s this number of Here & There is scarce in commerce and in institutional holdings. A very good example featuring original patterns and twenty original mounted textile swatches. Single volume measuring 14 x 8 inches: 123 1. Original coil-bound stiff black wrappers lettered in white. First leaf printed on magenta paper; black-and-white photographs and line drawings throughout text; twenty tipped-in fabric swatches. Light shelfwear corners bumped lower wrapper creased.
