MOA Galleria - Lora Lee Dress Shop Window
New York - circa 1950s
Nighttime in 1950s New York. And here's the posh and fashionable window display (complete with Mannequins) at the Lora Lee Dress Shop, just oozing charm and retro swank!
Oh, my goodness, such a lovely postcard! I love this one! I actually like the clothes as well as the atmosphere. Everything looks so perfect. I want to transport myself back in time.
It's a great shot but it kinda creeps me out. There has to be some "Urban Legend" about New York models crossing some meek window dresser who flips out, kills the models, stuffs them and sticks them in the windows so they are forced to watch the passing world forever. Hang on. I think I need to make a movie.
Vintage display windows are marvellous ! I went to Las Vegas recently, and much of what I saw made me ill.The mannequins were just ball heads with no facial features. The lighting was gaudy. The clothing was garish, and priced insanely. I prefer the old days.

ReplyDeleteThey even had window displays in freestanding Sears stores, must've been really cool to see. Esp;ecially at night.
