In the October 15, 1941 issue of Vogue magazine, these uplifting pops of color were referred to as "Bright Assistants".
For late afternoon, a pink sweater with matching gloves uplifts a black suit. The simple addition of a pink bow on a fur muff along with a black hat accented with pink floral trim can have the same uplifting effect. Green gloves matched to shoe laces and jewels are another bright idea. Illustration is by Rene Bouet-Willaumez (RBW) for Vogue.
Passionate purple provides an inspiring pop of color for director Ivy Jordan's tailored ensemble. Jerkin, skirt, hat, and gloves are from The Couture Touch. Shirt is from Robert Tonner's Brenda Starr Collection. Cigarette holder is from Mystyna. Lady Director Ivy Jordan is from Integrity.
It is purely amazing how a surprise pop of colour can energize the simplicity of any neural! How the 21st century could learn from its grandmothers! Wonderful fashion tactic to re-vist, Mélissa! --Monsieur Érik
ReplyDeleteI look forward to next week's hat post...as you know, a woman is never fully dressed without her hat and gloves!
How true! My mom always wore a classic suit accessorized with a hat and gloves whenever she left the house. Thanks so much for your comment Monsieur Erik. Melissa
