Ceil Chapman - In the Flesh, so to speak

I love old mags and found this the other day in the March 5, 1951 issue of Life. This issue is great as it covers the new
Paris collections. And added bonus was finding this
ad, for a Playtex girdle no less, endorsed by Ceil Chapman.

The ad:




Closeups of the pics of Ceil Chapman herself:








Pretty neat!

Sue

 

ooh I love seeing Ceil associated stuff

 

That pretty cool Sue. She doesn't look at all how I pictured in my mind!

 

thats cool! I love old ads.

I just got a book by John Fairchild and it has lots of pics of designers that I have never seen what they looked like before.

 

Did you see the one I found in the NY Times? Seotember 1951...

I know what you mean Bonnie (for some reason I pictured
Ceil looking like Anne! :D )

Jonathan that is lovely! And just so.....Ceil!

Maybe we should have a forum with just vintage
ad scans....I love looking at them. I have a lot of old
magazines that I'm sure I can find more pics to post.

Oh, Sue that is a great idea!!

Gail

 

Those are great scans! I like looking at old magazine pictures also!

 

I would LOVE a magazine scan forum too!!

 

I remember my mother swearing about how uncomfortable her girdle was, way back in the late 60's, early 70's.

Cool scans, do we need a forum?

Deb

 

Deb, could we have a Vintage Magazine Ad forum? There are such cool
ads in these magazines and some of them can be awfully informative.

(and some are downright hilarious)

any more thoughts on a vintage magazine ads forum?
