1957Best.-Nr. 41355Paris: Societe Paritys 1957. 1st printing thus. Publisher's color pictorial glazed boards post binder; 3 brass posts decorative screw tops. Red cloth joints. Some general extremity wear to binder with slightly bumped corners. Occasional dust soiling. Minor foxing. Overall VG with cloth samples generally VG to Nr Fine with the occasional crease to the odd sample or two. 104 pp printed in red on stiff-stock paper. 16 color fashion drawings; 897 of 898 tipped-in fabric samples. Folio. 16-1/4" x 12-1/8" A mid-century salesman's sample catalogue from the summer collection of Parisian firm Société Paritys a haberdashery and fabric supplier established in 1946 and still in operation today. 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. Of particular note are the designs and fabrics for wedding dresses.

1950Best.-Nr. 147039Various cities: Various 1950. Collection of 140 vintage photographs of department store window displays 9 of which are double weight. Eight photographs dated 1948 four dated 1949 with the rest being circa 1950s. Nearly two thirds with stamps on the verso or other identifying information for the photographers or photography studios. Roughly half of the photographs feature window displays from Peck & Peck a New York based chain that at its peak had 78 stores across the United States including images from its flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York. Also included are 26 photographs of displays at the nearby Stern's as well as 19 photographs from photography studios in Southern California including Los Angeles Long Beach and Pasadena 8 of which are identified as being from Buffum's stores. The window displays in this collection predominantly feature mannequins showcasing women's clothing and accessories with a smaller number featuring children and teens and occasional ones focused on furniture or household decorations. The displays are arranged in such a way that they create abstract aspirational narratives around travel parties and leisure activities in retrospect giving historical context not to mention a surreal frozen-in-time quality to the Mid-century modern design and fashion. Taken as a whole a fairly comprehensive look at the focus and psychology of women's advertising and fashion in the American mid-century. 10 x 8 inches.
