Grapefruit Moon Gallery has recently acquired an interesting collection of photographs that were created for use in advertising the Swim Easy brand of swimsuits. Branded by the Myers Manufacturing Company, Inc. of Poughkeepsie, New York, these trademarked bathing suits were advertised heavily in newspapers throughout the early 20th century. The one-piece suits boasted a variety of novel and stylish models and they even photographed some of Hollywood's aspiring starlets in their fashions. This is a wonderful collection of old photographs that capture the style and newfound freedom of women's swimsuits.
ITEM: This is a 1920s vintage and original photograph of a group of bathing beauty fashion models showing off the latest Swim-Easy wool swimsuits in a variety of fits and styles. These sleek suits gave a snugger fit and shorter hemlines affording women more freedom at beaches and pools while also offering up more skin to get that bronzed California look. A really cool piece of old fashion advertising that definitely gets us in the mood for the summer!
Measures 10" x 8" on a glossy single weight paper stock.
CONDITION: Fine condition with some warping to the paper on verso and general storage/handling wear. Please use the included images as a conditional guide.
Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
