One of my favorite people from LA, Hana, bought me this old magazine a few years ago while she was in France. It was so thoughtful, considering Catherine Deneuve (French actress, YSL muse) is one of my top style icons! Here are some scans from it. I love the advertisements – they are so telling of how women during this era were considered to be little more than housewives! So interesting! And I love some of the fashion poses.
L’oreal Ad
Another ad, “Just as she likes it… a sweater washed with SOLILAINE”
A space helmet
What an elegant mother!
“Not a trace of grease!” (You can even wipe your clean white gloves on it!)
And my favorite editorial:
(If I had a husband who posed like this I would have to wonder..)
Grr baby!
American boots for men.

I love these scans! Old magazines are amazing. And I love how stunning her blue eyes look in the last photo (before editorial).
