Scarlet Women (Vanity Fair, 1955)

 Is there any colour more eye-catching than red?  Vanity Fair didn't seem to think so in 1955.

January 1955

In January, Vanity Fair featured this blazer in "Guardsman red" in its "Best Buys" section. 

February 1955

February's cover girl looks warm in "the new narrow shouldered look, the high-set sleeve... and the new shorter-than-long length" featured in the latest Paris collections.

March 1955

The March issue features a model wearing a spring suit in coral tweed—manufactured by Handmacher.

April 1955

The April issue features this dress "vibrating with colour"among a selection of "New Season's" dresses "to Dance in".  It's in organdy and built over its own petticoat, with a stole to match.


June 1955

Our cover girl for June heads off on her boating holiday wearing a "fleecy wool resort coat" by Rensor.


October 1955

To finish with: "A Blaze of Colour... a delight to dance in, made in crackle-crisp taffeta from an original Dior design".
