Through the years there have been many magazines called Vanity Fair. This one ("For the Younger, Smarter Woman") was published in London in the postwar period. It naturally had a very British focus (London-centric, really!) but it was also sold in former British colonies such as Australia and New Zealand. Occasionally the editors of Vanity Fair decided to add some special content for their readers in the Southern Hemisphere... like the Australasian supplement which they published with their September 1956 issue.
First the cover of the main issue. In the north, summer was nearing its end and people were looking forward to colder days. The model is wearing a wool jersey suit by Dereta—just the thing for Autumn!
And in the south, people were shaking off the winter blues and looking forward to summer. The Australasian supplement, stapled inside the magazine, features two models photographed on Sydney's Whale Beach. The model in the foreground is wearing a poplin "playsuit", while the one in the background is dressed in a matching two-piece swimsuit. Just the thing for summer!
