Ellen Kaye Dresses

I recently added this fun and fabulous 1940′s Conversational Print dress by Ellen Kaye to my shop Noble Savage Vintage on Ruby Lane. It is one of my favorite pieces and I just adore it’s quirky print, which consists of a repeat of swordfish and a ladies head. I typically see 1950′s dresses from this maker. I decided to do a little bit of research.

1940′s Ellen Kaye Conversational Print Dress

It turns out that the name has been around since 1922, trademarked by LANG-KOHN, INC. of  ST. LOUIS.   Apparantly , St. Louis was the origin of the junior apparel craze.   In 1926,  Lang-Kohn, Inc. would become the company, that manufactured the first junior size garments in the country.  I found quite a few Ellen Kaye ads in the Newspaper archives and thought I would share a few.

The Jantzen company made more than vintage swimwear

Most people, and even I always associated Jantzen with vintage swimwear.

With the diving figure logo that always comes to mind first.

But they made many kinds of vintage knit sportswear clothing.

Here is a wool and mohair 1950s vintage mens cardigan sweater with a zipper front just added to Bette Be Good Vintage Clothing

This vintage sweater is not just for a retro guy. Anyone can wear it.

Noble Savage Vintage Loves Vintage For Men

Fall is the favorite Season here at Noble Savage Vintage.  Nothing beats the quality of the Vintage wools or the construction and detailing of vintage work and formal attire.  We have been working to increase our selection of quality menswear, some classic and some, really quite unique.  I have included a few of our more classic pieces from the Etsy Shop and the Ruby Lane Shop in this blog, but please do stay tuned as we have really only just begun!

I hope you enjoy.

See you soon!

British Vogue 1984

We may already have experienced the best of the summer weather (in England anyway!), but one can always rely on a vintage fashion glossie to remind ourselves that somewhere on this planet, warmer climes and mid summer escapes await. Here’s a pretty photo shoot taken from British Vogue July 1984, with images by Paul Lange in Haiti. Hair by Bob Fink. Enjoy!

Long pale linens for the long hot holiday abroad, garlanded with short pearl strings, wide faded straws, the prettiest scarves. Wear them with slippers or summer brogues for exploring the coast, the mountains, the mysteries of Haiti. Here, airy spaces, faded fretted wood, shades of the past, at the Grand Hotel Oloffson in Port au Prince, where Graham Green wrote The Comedians, and Vogue, some eighteen years later, stayed.

White lace and linen shirt, beige linen trousers, brown leather belt, pearl beads, from a selection at Ralph Lauren.
