Side-Eyed: 1955
September 28, 1955. "Gimbel Brothers store in Cross County Center, Yonkers, New York. Divider between maternity and coats and suits. Raymond Loewy Associates, client." 4x5 inch acetate negative by Gottscho-Schleisner. View full size.
Still the same.
What's amazing about these department store design photos is that little has changed since the mid-'50s. You can walk into almost any big-city department store today, and with the exception of added carpet, design and fixtures haven't changed much at all.
