1937 | SCHIAPARELLI'S SPRING COLLECTION | SHOES BY ANDRE PERUGIA

"La collezione è una farandola… Una melodia si eleva da questi abiti da valzer in mousseline leggera. Un canto di uccelli, un ronzio di api e la vivacità delle farfalle si uniscono armoniosamente negli stampati estivi… poi è la romanza dei cappelli sfrontati, impertinenti… e, unendosi a questo coro, i fiori, la primavera e il sole cantano un inno dedicato alla bellezza.

La linea nuova è l’immagine di una clessidra: vita sottile, ampiezza alle spalle e al fondo delle gonne, comodo giromanica. Per il giorno, la scollatura è decorata da ampi risvolti o da goliere; per la sera, è addolcita e rivelatrice.. e per completezza, delle calzature Padova, speciali di capretto, disegnate da André Perugia."

L'Officiel De La Mode | Marzo 1937

"The collection sings a roundelay.. A melody of music caught in the mousseline folds of waltz skirts… A song of birds, bees and butterflies woven on summer prints… A ballad of impudent, saucy hats… a lilt of flowers, spring and sunshine, swellinf to a chorus dedicated to the beauty and simplicity of things around us.

The silhouette hails the change – an hour glass figure with the waist definitely corseted. There is freedom at the shoulder and the hemline. Roominess in the armhole. A neckline for day flattered by wide lapels or lingerie touches – for night, softened and revealing. Feet, with special kidskin shoes from Padova, designed by André Perugia, are a part of the picture."

1969 | NORMAN ROCKWELL | SPRING FLOWERS |

1969 | Norman Rockwell | Spring Flowers | DETAIL

Oil On Canvas | McCall's magazine |

“I bought an oversized book of Rockwell paintings and wore down the pages showing it to Mike, Lawrence, Edwin, Joel, and anyone else who would look. This was the advertising I wanted! I loved the minutiae. I loved the small-town flavor. And I especially loved the detail in the clothing he used: the saddle shoes, the tartan skirts, the wool sweaters, the military uniforms, the quilts. ”

Tommy Hilfiger
