fashion - going back in time

 


Most images of Audrey Hepburn show off her elongated neckline in an elegant black dress.  I'm not sure why this Yousuf Karsh portrait (1956) has her in a casual turtleneck sweater, which in its own way, shows off her long neck.
Louis Jordan was a saxophonist (jazz, swing, blues, and jump blues)
Caledonia (youtube).  This stamp shows the poster for the 1941 movie.  Striped trousers were very fashionable in the 1940s

And, Edgar Allan Poe looking dapper with his trademark ascot.
