Cool summer outfit in style of 1961 in cream & coral/pink colors with real vintage jacket & skirt

By -


Style clothing from late 1950s to 1960s , as well as authentic vintage from this period, makes up a large part of my wardrobe. 





My favorites are the whole early half of the period, with some nice fashion examples from the later half as well.

 





So, this time my outfit is the 1960s. 



But as always, I took the liberty of doing a little research to find out something about the companies that made my things. 






Because for me "just to wear" is not interesting. I love the history of fashion and clothes. I like to feel the connection with the past times.




 

So here's what I was able to find out.

 




I wear a vintage blouse from the French brand "Bhatti Paris". 





This brand was founded in 1980 at Paris by Mehmood Bhatti, a Pakistani-born fashion designer who still exists today.





My vintage skirt is from the German brand “Barco Sport Modell”. 





The full name of this brand in the 1950s was "BARCO - SPORT Lehmann & Hertel" (Bremen, Admiral str. 21), and I found its earliest mention in an industrial directory from 1959 with a field of activity in "Herstellung und Vertrieb von Damenoberbekleidung". 



Around the 1970s, Karin Hertel became the owner of the brand and therefore the brand was renamed "Barco - Sport, Karin Hertel GmbH" (Bremen, Straubinger str. 5). 




I found a vague mention that perhaps this brand still exists and its owner is still the same Karin Hertel.





I am wearing:

  • Real vintage cream pure wool semi-cropped loose fit jacket with silk lining, mother-of-pearl big buttons and 7/8 sleeves, about late 1950s-early 1960s
  • Real vintage coral cotton body and silk 7/8 sleeves with button down with frill blouse by “Bhatti Paris”, made in France, about late 1980s-1990s
  • Real vintage cream pure wool midi cloche skirt with white leather stitched on fake belt by “Barco Sport Modell”, Bremen, made in Germany, about late 1960s-1970s
  • (not seen) White cotton petticoat, about 1990s-2010s
  • Artisanal hand painted pinkish with floral ornament pure silk square scarf, about 1990-2010s
  • White python leather handbag by “Carla Sade”, made in Spain, about 1990s
  • Cream cotton homemade knitted gloves, end of 2020
  • White fishnet tights, about 1970s-1990s
  • Cream leather mid heel shoes, made in Spain, 2020s


 


I found that a flared skirt pairs wonderfully with short loose jacket. 





And best of all, this outfit is complemented not by a hat, no matter how much I love hats, but by a scarf tied around my head. 



I got a classic look in the style of the very beginning of the 1960s, specifically 1961. 




With dark hair, the style of Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn now follow me relentlessly. However, I really like it.

Warm spring outfit in style of early "New Look" with felt saucer hat with felted flowers

This outfit is suitable for cool, but not cold autumn, warm winter and warm spring. After receiving this wonderful hat from the Polish hat maker Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw, I almost immediately arranged this photo session. Although it was December, it was warm during the day, but in the late afternoon, an icy wind blew from the mountains and, as always, my head froze. Unfortunately, my head is very sensitive to the wind, and all my favorite hats, those that are the most beautiful, do not cover ears that are very sensitive to cold. But in any case, the replica hat turned out to be very beautiful and, unlike the original, which was for summer, it can still be worn in the cooler season. I really like felted flowers, felted to woolen hats and looking like real ones, they are much better than those that are now commonly made from synthetic fabrics and glued to hats.  Firstly, woolen flowers are more environmentally friendly.  Secondly, more beautiful.  Thirdly, more unusua...

Interview with the Polish milliner lady - Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw

In the modern world, the so-called "fast fashion" rules everywhere. This is when the market depends on the constant purchase of new things, used once or twice, thrown away and bought again ... and so on ad infinitum. Of course, the reason for this lies in the fact that modern things, as a rule, are of very low quality, regardless of whether they are mass market or not. This rule applies to all modern things from cars to clothes. Indeed, contemporary clothing is rarely designed to be worn or used for long periods of time. It breaks down almost immediately! This is one of the reasons why I am in love with vintage and antique things. Quality and durability mean everything to me. I like that once upon a time things used to serve not only for decades, but also for centuries, being passed down from generation to generation. But at this time, I want to talk about hats and millinery itself (craft of making hats). Because it often happens that there are no suitable hats for me: the ri...

Warm spring outfit in style of early 1960s with real vintage jacket by “Amaryllis”

Since the weather in Spain has once again changed (I've lost its count!) between the extremes, from heat and sun to cold, rain and wind, I continue to share with you my looks from previous photo shoots. This outfit will be very good for a warm, but not very hot and not very cold spring. Or for a cool autumn. Or a warm winter. But when I posed for these photos, it was the end of March, it was cold and overcast. So the outfit was not exactly weather-appropriate, but more because of the hat, not other parts of dress. Fearing the rain, I took a vintage umbrella with me, which I think added a twist to the look. I like the contrast of narrow bottom and loose top. This jacket is just amazing.  I tried to find out something about the brand that produced it, but, unfortunately, there is little information in Internet. Probably partly because the name “Amaryllis” denotes a flower variety, which makes it difficult to find.  Label of my jacket by “Amaryllis” But rue du Faubourg Saint-Hono...
