Elegant and feminine skirts and dresses, accentuated fashion details - secret tucks, inserts, as well as a narrow silhouette and the obligatory suit from Coco Chanel ...

In the Vintage section of the September Burda issue, fashion designers interpreted the extravagant costume of 1958 (photo above) in the clean chic style, which caused a real sensation in the middle of the last century.

In the magazine, it is repeated in the form of a balloon jacket and a narrow skirt in a saturated fashionable color and supplemented with tone-on-tone accessories: handbag, nail polish (photo on the right).
“A kit with typical spherical shapes has become a favorite in Italy,” fashion magazines wrote in 1958. The ensemble (at the top photo) was worn with pearl beads, a small hat and long gloves.
Today he will find a more diverse application. An extended jacket can be worn with a top and leather leggings for a rock concert, and with a skirt and a classic white blouse - in the office.
However, do not limit your imagination!

The history of fashion with Burda

"The only law that obeys fashion is to keep pace with the times.
The spirit of the era determines the face of fashion, and fashion determines the face of the era ...
I support any style, even hypertrophied, if it helps a woman to become more beautiful.
Everything is allowed in fashion, which is why the art of being irresistible depends on how right the choice is made. "
