Step
back into the fabulous world of the 1950s with
Fabulous Fifties: Designs for Modern Living!
Popular culture was stimulated as products were
mass produced and the middle class emerged.
After World War II, America prospered and took
the lead in popular culture as people rebuilt
their lives by looking forward. Designs of whimsy
and abstract patterns jump along the pages in
bright and exhilarating colors. From furniture
and textiles to Hawaiian shirts, poodle skirts,
vinyl handbags, gabardine jackets, rayon dresses
and more, nearly every aspect of modern living
in the 1950s is shown in full color. Over 770
color photographs display this lively period
in all its fantastic glory. Never before has
such an expansive volume been published from
the collector's point of view. Whether a dealer,
collector, historian, or just someone interested
in the 1950s, you will be delighted as these
224 pages unfold to tell the story of this popular
and fun-filled decade.
