Description

Sketch of 2 women wearing similarly styled clothing--the first is an ankle-length A-line jumper with large pockets and and decorative tie, over a short sleeved top, and the other, a trench coat of the same length, with a dropped waist and self-tie belt and large pockets. There is also a sketch of a short, sleeveless striped dress with a mock-turtle neckline and self tie belt. This is the cut-out of the advertisement, and the copy reads, BONNIE CASHIN believes in Spring--loves paled-down suedes in light-weight trenchy styles with a cap-sleeved strip dress to match--or her little sleeveless, hi-belted suede jumper coat to wear over a long-sleeved dress or pants and turtleneck..SMASHING, BONNIE! Bonnie Cashin (September 28, ca. 1908� February 3, 2000) was an American designer and is considered one of the pioneering designers of American sportswear. She created practical, uncomplicated clothing that catered to the independent woman of the post-war era. . Cashin is often cited creating both the concept of layering clothing and for coining the term. The idea of layering came from time she spent in Asia. Her use of leather, mohair and hardware was pioneering and the brass turnlocks that kept the top of her 1940s convertible down became a signature feature of Coach handbags.
