Saturday Evening Post: 1942
Fall 1942. "Detroit, Michigan. Style show of clothes worn by the better-dressed office workers, presented by the Chrysler Girls' Club of the Chrysler Corporation at Saks Fifth Avenue." 4x5 acetate negative by Arthur S. Siegel for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Hairdo
I am always amazed and perplexed by such a complicated hair arrangement. (I associate it with Lucille Ball and that era of the 1940s and '50s.) How does one deal with the wind, intense heat, a hat, sleep? I’m bald so I have no such worries nor any point of comparison. I also note the overcoats on the two ladies against the building, so I’m thinking our better-dressed office worker might have been a bit chilly for the duration of the photoshoot.
Kahn!!!
This is outside the New Center Building. Saks Fifth Avenue had three floors of the building - you can see the display windows in the background.
The building was designed by Albert Kahn and, from its opening, it held his architecture firm, Kahn and Associates. The building was renamed the Albert Kahn Building in 1988. In 2019, the firm moved to the grand Fisher Building across the street, when the Kahn building was converted to apartments.
