👄Vintage 1946 Spring Illustrated Fashion Booklet The Originator Vol V

This booklet was created as a professional fashion reference rather than a general-interest magazine. Originator Smart Fashions was produced for designers, dressmakers, department store buyers, and fashion houses to preview seasonal silhouettes, construction details, and styling ideas. The illustrated plates and short notes were meant to guide how garments would be designed, cut, merchandised, and presented for the Spring 1946 season, making this piece both a creative tool and a historical snapshot of post-war American fashion. This is an original 1946 Spring Volume V Originator Smart Fashions booklet published by Originator Publishing Co., New York. This charming vintage fashion piece provides a unique presentation of fashion hints, modern trends, ideas and stylish variations smartly applied for the post-war era. The booklet has beautiful mid-century illustrations showing women’s jackets, skirts, blouses and design details from the Spring 1946 season, with text and visuals aimed at fashion professionals, collectors and enthusiasts. Edited by Florence Hort and copyrighted in 1945 with Spring 1946 Volume V on the title page, this collectible is perfect for vintage fashion collectors, designers, sewing historians, sketchbook enthusiasts, and mid-century style lovers. Condition is vintage and well preserved. The cover shows noticeable wear from age and handling, while all interior pages remain clean, intact, and free of rips or tears.
