fashion 'extremes'



these photos are from a 1949 Life Magazine editorial entitled 'Fashion Extremes'. most all of the fashions showcased would be considered perfectly normal now [and also fabulous]. in fact, i had to read the captions for some just to see what was so extreme about them. fascinating, wouldn't you say?

'extreme' glove height


'extreme' amount of material


'extreme' foot nakedness :)


"extreme sleeve"


'extreme' due to exposed sequined bra

Wow! It is fascinating that none of these would seem that extreme any more...
