Description
Three clippings. The first clipping is (?) from the Enquirer, December 2, 1952. This clipping is an advertisement for Cashin's designs for Joseph Guttman at Pogue's. There is a photograph of a woman in a two-piece knit dress. The skirt is reed slim with slight fullness at the waistline. A three-yard long belt wraps around the waist for a slnder effect. The dress has contrasting bands of knitting at the edges of the skirt, the sleeves, the neckline, and at the belt. It costs $45. The second clipping shows a woman in an aqua Bonnie Cashin knit dress and a gold and aqua tweed cardigan jacket. The third clipping is from The Houston Chronicle. There is no date shown. The article discusses the value of expensive raincoats. There are three raincoats shown. One is Cashin's duster coat of black and white jacquard stripes. It is unclear if the other two raincoats are Cashin or not, but one is made of silk shantung taffeta trimmed with velvet and the other is a paper weight poplin in jewel tones of Element cloth.
