1950réf. 218281950. Fashion design archive likely 1950s to 1960s documenting women's garment design during the mid-century through original working sketches that preserve both style development and the practical language of dressmaking. The archive is strongest as evidence of how women's fashion was conceived on paper before production with repeated attention to silhouette trim fabric and construction. Dresses blouses coats and eveningwear appear throughout placing the material within the visual world of postwar American fashion as it moved from structured elegance toward sharper and more decorative later mid-century forms.

The drawings are executed in ink and depict a wide range of women's clothing including fitted dresses capes blouses coats and formal designs with careful attention to drape proportion neckline sleeve treatment and surface embellishment. Many sheets are accompanied by dense handwritten notes in the margins or on the reverse recording measurements fabric suggestions and pattern or construction instructions. The combination of illustration and notation gives the sheets the character of working designs rather than purely display drawings and suggests use in dressmaking training or client planning. The archive belongs to the history of women's fashion not only as a record of finished styles but as evidence of the design process itself preserving the intermediate stage between idea and garment. Such working sketches show how fashion circulated through manual skill technical knowledge and close attention to fabric and form in the decades before design became fully digitized. Light general wear from use; overall very good. A substantial mid-century design archive that preserves the visual and technical vocabulary of women's fashion making across more than one hundred original sketches. unknown

Images include editorial fashion shoots casting and publicity photographs scanned negatives and studio portraiture featuring predominantly Black women alongside several white models photographed by the same studios.

1940réf. 196571940. African American Black Models in Commercial Print: Philadelphia Studio Fashion Photoshoot 1930s-1940s Archive of 4 Original Vintage Photographs. Each black and white silver gelatin photograph measures 3.5" x 4.5". All photographs were captured at Condax Studio in Philadelphia. Condax Studios was associated with the Models' Guild of Philadelphia which served as a "central resource of information for commercial photographers connecting them with professional models for television fashion and convention work".

Her eyes are slightly covered by a black birdcage veil. In the remaining two photographs she sports a posh blazer and skirt set glamorous jewelry heels and an umbrella. Until the middle of the 1940s consumer advertising completely ignored the black consumer and virulent racial segregation in the United States meant that Black people's needs were not being satisfied. Thus traditional advertisers were reluctant to associate the image of a black person with their products. At this point in time they perceived it may lead to a loss in sales by the way Black people were viewed in society. These photographs capture an early instance of a Black print model in an era where there was little representation. Two photographs are minority wrinkled not affecting image quality.
