A promotional album pairing photographs of models in dresses, skirts and tops with samples of the fabrics they wear. Technical notes accompany the swatches, with occasional references to designers and Milanese or Parisian fashion.
Models wearing dresses, skirts and tops are photographed opposite samples of the fabrics used in their clothes. Made for promotional use, the album brings fashion photography and textile samples together, pairing the finished garment with its material. It contains black-and-white photographs and a colour photograph, alongside fabric swatches. Technical descriptions and explanations accompany the fabrics, with occasional references to designers or to Milanese and Parisian fashion. The photographer is unidentified. The arrangement links clothing, printed textile designs and advertising photography, showing each fabric both as a sample and as clothing worn by a model. The manufacturer produced printed cotton for the higher end of the fashion market.
