Wool Revue of 1946
Wool.....It's warm, soft, and luxurious. It comes in a variety of rich colors and textures. It's a perfect choice for coats and suits as it tailors perfectly. And depending on the weight, it can span the seasons. For your viewing enjoyment, I am featuring some wonderful 1946 textile advertisements from vintage Vogue magazines. Textile mills often partnered with apparel designers to showcase the latest in colors and styles.
This beautifully designed suit by The House of Swansdown is in pure wool Milliken fabric with melon-style sleeves and a sweep of silvery buttons.
This striking yellow wool tunic is made from Bur-Mil rayon faille wool crepe from Burlington Mills Corp. I love it paired with the fabulous black gloves and halo hat. The tunic is layered over a black skirt. Photo by Paul D'Ome.
A simple wool suit accented with the perfect accessories: a delightful floral straw hat, handbag, gloves, and umbrella. Cy Monette suit made from worsted wool by Pacific.
Isn't this a sensational look? I love the color of the gloves with this jacket from Carmel. It's made from Miron's needlepoint gabardine of pure 100% imported virgin wool.
