I found this small, vintage catalog (booklet sized) at a flea market recently. The great flapper girl front and back covers don't hint at what's inside. It's a men's fashion collection from 1926. I'm including the captions as they appear in the booklet. The images are very Great Gatsby. I hope you enjoy the images. less I found this small, vintage catalog (booklet sized) at a flea market recently. The great flapper girl front and back covers don't hint at what's inside.

Sept. 15: The Naeem Khan Spring 2012 collection is modeled during Fashion Week in New York. (AP) Indian-born designer Naeem Khan channeled Spain in his new line that offered a glamorous array of sequined, beaded and ruffled gowns. Khan got a standing ovation after closing out the show with one of his grander creations, a ballgown in silver with a fringed bodice and an extravagantly full skirt. Khan, who famously has designed gowns for Michelle Obama at not one but two state dinners, said in a backstage interview that he was inspired to create dresses and gowns focusing on Spain. He also said that if anything was new in his current collection, it was the effect of being “super-clean. This time there was no fuss.” His fans, though, made a fuss. “It was stunning,” actress Mischa Barton told him after the show as he was crowded with well-wishers. Colors were not confined to any particular scheme; there were bright oranges and yellows, reds and blues, roses and … [Read more...] about Designer Naeem Khan Focuses on Spain in New Fashion Line

NEW YORK (AP) — It didn't count in the standings, but the most shocking game of the opening week of women's basketball was No. 1 Oregon stunning the U.S. women's national team. The Americans played a four-game college tour that had them face Stanford, Oregon State, Texas A&M and the Ducks over a seven-day stretch. The Ducks, led by preseason All-America Sabrina Ionescu, weren't intimidated and used a huge run to start the fourth quarter to hand the Americans their second-ever loss to a college team. It came nearly 20 years to the day after the U.S. lost to Tennessee. "I believed that we could do it," Ionescu said. "I never thought that I'd say we beat the best players in the world, and I think if we played again the outcome might be totally different, but we're really proud of this team and our coaching staff and what we did tonight." The Ducks open their season Monday night. Here are a few other things that happened this past week: Oregon head women basketball coach … [Read more...] about Oregon stuns US team; C.

Thanks to a twist of boozy fate, Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby are both this Saturday. This actually happens fairly often since the so-called Run for the Roses take place the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs in Louisville and Cinco de Mayo is, of course, always the fifth of May. While at first blush this might not seem like a big deal or even matter. What do these two events have in common except that they both have a signature drink and they’re in early May? And even those two drinks—the Mint Julep and the Margarita—are worlds apart, right? Well, over the last few years those worlds have certainly collided and the two drinking holidays have begun to overlap in interesting ways and have become increasingly popular. To start with, over the last 20 years, both bourbon and tequila have seen their reputations and sales rise substantially. And what’s driving this surge in interest are higher priced bottling and a connoisseurship whose possibility 20 … [Read more...] about The Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo Are Merging
