Guy Day: Nice little wife you’ve got there, Frank

1960s, faux fur, Mensday, menswear, velmar, Vintage Adverts

Scanned from Men in Vogue, November 1966.

Mmmmm, patronising… Still, it’s a dude and his missus in faux fur coats so I find I cannot disapprove too much!

Vintage Adverts: Sex Sells….Chess?

Good use of a plunging black Ossie Clark dress, Home Paraphernalia of the New Kings Road, good use indeed. I’m sure it sent sales soaring…

 

Vintage Adverts: Very Diana Rigg, very Sanderson

1970s, diana rigg, sanderson, Vintage Adverts

From 1973

There are elements that I like here, but I can’t decide whether I prefer Diana’s pad or Britt’s groovier Sanderson-decked dining room. Someone’s just going to have to donate a large house to me, so I can decorate each room in a different style and make up my mind…

Mensday: A Real Man

1960s, haute naffness, Mensday, menswear, Vintage Adverts

It Takes A Real Man To Ask A Warm Girl To Return His Acrilan Sweater.

I think someone favours his Acrilan sweater over a bit of how’s your father, because I’m sure he won’t be getting any more there…

Smoochers from Boots Seventeen. Scanned from Petticoat, November 1974.

Mad orange lipstick packaging, names like Smoochers and Sugar Daddy, men in puffy sleeved shirts….make-up advertising just ain’t what it used to be!

Vintage Adverts: Chelsea Girl’s word is her bonded Orlon

chelsea girl, seventies fashion, Vintage Adverts

From December 1970. I love me some Chelsea Girl, and this advert is just perfection with the colours, the styling, the design… it even makes me half-fancy a white wig! I think I’ll leave it at the half-fancying stage though…
