Vanity Fair Lingerie Elegance Evolves 1944 vs Today Print Ad 2009 2000s (2pgs)
Vanity Fair tells a story of evolving glamour by posing two models in nearly identical stances, one in a black-and-white gown styled like a 1944 ad and the other in modern lingerie. The left page revives wartime sentiment, with the line "Buy bonds today for victory tomorrow" beneath a script logo. The right page answers with the slogan "Elegance evolves" and showcases the Fits You Perfectly bra and No-Roll Waistband panty. Together they make a clever 2009 argument that classic femininity never goes out of style.
- Left page quotes "Lovely to look at, and lovely to wear" in rayon jersey
- Second page features a bra and brief in a soft rose shade with matching peep-toe heels
- Bare arms, shoulders and long legs highlight the contemporary look
- This two-page spread was carefully removed from a magazine, so the image may not line up exact
- Note: Right page is about 1/2" shorter in width than the left page.
- Measures approximately: 8" x 11" (each page)
