1929: Ethnic Prints for Spring
Ethnic prints are popular this spring, so it seems very appropriate to post this striking image from Fashion Service Woman's Institute Magazine and March 1929. It is a beautiful advertisement that features the "Indu-Chi" series of fabrics, "Parisian in design, latin in feeling, and inspired by the vigorous, joyful, decorative embroideries of Hungarian peasant festival costumes." Simply gorgeous.

If only we could see the full dress, and perhaps know the price of those beautiful silk crepe fabrics!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! For the silk crepe fabrics, I guess we could just "ask to seem them at your local dealer"! ;) Sigh - if only!
DeleteI love how ethnic prints have made a comeback this spring. The combination of Parisian design with Latin influences in the "Indu-Chi" fabric collection is unique. This ad from 1929 perfectly showcases the vibrant and joyful nature of these prints. It's fascinating to see how designs from Hungarian peasant festival costumes have inspired such beautiful fashion. Speaking of how impactful visuals can be, this reminds me of the power of outdoor advertising. If you want to create something as impactful for your business, working with a billboard advertising agency could help you make a lasting impression on your audience.
