1945D3115Holland 1945. Cloth-backed paper over boards 10.25 by 13.75 inches; approx. pp. 200 handwritten and illustrated in black and red ink. Contains more than 50 patterns for women's clothing as well as few for little girls -- including dresses blouses skirts coats and underwear. Boards a bit worn and warped but contents are nice and fresh. Very little text -- all of it in Dutch -- but the patterns are universally applicable. Presumably created by a student the patterns are painstakingly neat and exact and accompanied by drawings of the finished apparel as well as wonderfully adept drawings of ladies modeling them offering complete looks from hat to shoe. Also includes cut-outs of patterns many of them still holding pins laid-in here and there. Lovely legible and careful throughout you can see that they were first drawn in pencil then traced over in ink and the student's ruler and blotting paper are laid-in at the back. Unique and accomplished. A gem. <br/><br/> hardcover

19781003704Westport Connecticut: Here & There 1978. September 1978 issue of Here & There Francine Horn's groundbreaking fashion trend report focusing on haute couture Japanese fashion and resort wear: "The posh stuff is back in line for Fall '78." Forecasting a year in advance the pages reveal trendsetting European designs for Fall 1979 alongside their American counterparts with lively editorial commentary. The opening chapters celebrate the return of haute couture and its translation to ready-to-wear led by St. Laurent and Givenchy and inspired by Hollywood glamour Chesterfield overcoats and vintage cocktail looks. The coverage of American resort wear highlights the role of the fashion illustrator in forecasting. Because those collections were presented in private showrooms that prohibited photography Here & There charged their "much overworked illustrator Mr. Frank Spina with the prodigious task of capturing with his 'rapacious rapidograph' the highlights of these resort collections" which included designs by Bill Blass Norma Kamali Perry Ellis and Willie Smith. Both a major trade publication and a savvy ad for Francine Horn's fashion trend consultancy Here & There was an industry must-read a success due in part to her husband David Charles Horn's candid photography and provocative editorials. Like most fashion forecasting reports from the 1970s this number of Here & There is scarce in commerce and in institutional holdings. A very good example featuring original patterns and twenty original mounted textile swatches. Single volume measuring 14 x 8 inches: 123 1. Original coil-bound stiff black wrappers lettered in white. First leaf printed on magenta paper; black-and-white photographs and line drawings throughout text; twenty tipped-in fabric swatches. Light shelfwear corners bumped lower wrapper creased.

194114713England 1941. Very Good. Substantial collection of original amateur artwork and fashion plates dated 1941 to 1945 by a young woman named Gladys Warren almost all pieces signed "G. Warren" "G.W." or "Gladys Warren". The collection consists of nine large format watercolors 56x38cm.; one small format watercolor 32.5x23; four large format pencil sketches 56x38cm.; and twelve small format pencil sketches 33.5x19cm. totaling twenty-six 26 individual pieces. Some dust soil and minor wear from handling watercolors not examined out of individual shrink wrap. A Very Good or better collection overall.<br /> <br /> Collection of drawings and watercolors almost exclusively depicting women in the latest fashions or in uniform. The range of the large format watercolors indicate that this was possibly a burgeoning professional dossier including examples of day wear sleep wear evening wear and swim wear. The large format pencil drawings include two historic fashion illustrations the only titled image in the group is "Madeira 1884" and one nude study. <br /> <br /> Of special note however is the series of twelve small pencil sketches all accomplished on the versos of what appear to be mimeographed World War II aircraft maintenance reports. Indeed the October 28 1941 "London Gazette" lists a Gladys Florence Warren among the members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force WAAF though we find little else to pinpoint the artist. With the dearth of ready paper experienced during World War II perhaps Warren filched these leaves on which to practice her art Most of these sketches depict attractive women either seen in close-up or as usual modeling the latest uniforms and fashions while the verso details the assemblage or maintenance of engine covers handbrakes or a "carburettor." <br /> <br /> A pleasing survival of the English home front juxtaposing fashion femininity and aircraft mechanics. unknown
