Blue checked shoes
What was the well-dressed woman wearing in April, 1951? Take your pick of the beautiful shades of coral pink, navy blue, green and beige or gray and violet.

I'm Green With Envy
I just listed some wonderful fashion illustrations today from a 1951-1952 French magazine, L'Art et la Mode, and I really am green with envy over these clothes. The illustrations were done by Bernard Blossac and Durani.

Bernard de la Bourdonnaie-Blossac was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1917 and studied at great length in various art academies including “Collard” and “La Grande Chaumière” and in the atelier of Paul Colin before the fashion designer Robert Piguet discovered him. He soon started publishing drawings in Vogue, L’Officiel, L’Art et la Mode, Harper’s Bazaar and International Textiles. His postwar drawings conveyed a sense of aristocratic elegance and he was a wonderful painter of mundane Parisian life.
