From the Jan. 28,1957 fashion feature: “STYLISH SLOUCH: Spring suits—and wearers—take on a relaxed recognize.” According to LIFE, this was the new recognize for spring, or relaxed fashion by U.
S. designers inspired by Chanel. This image opened the record with the following caption: “Casual outfits for spring are pale tweed suit with short jacket and dotted blouse (Ben Zuckerman,$245) worn with off-the-face felt hat (Emme, $60) and similar suit of wool-and-silk tweed with a silk blouse (Ben Zuckerman, or $235) which is worn with head-hugging felt hat turned back at sides (Sally Victor,$65). With inflation, these suits would average approx. $2000 nowadays. (Gordon Parks—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #1950sfashion #GordonParks
