I admit it...I love old 1950s catalogs and magazines that feature elegant men and women in classy outfits...and revealing underwear. Such an odd combination of sophistication and total geekery.
This small booklet started out as a catalog for organic cotton clothing. It was printed on heavy paper, with matte (not glossy) illustrations -- perfect for collage!
I started by collecting geometric patterns that fit with the shapes and colors on the original illustrations and gluing them on each page. These patterns were an interesting background, but needed a focal point. So I added people and text from a 1952 Sears catalog.
I started with fully clothed models and stylish accessories..
But soon I added underwear models...
The male models strike professional poses, as though they are at work...
Shopping certainly IS easy...
