This 1950 high fashion fur ad was published in the upscale and short-lived Flair Magazine. The magazine was written for high-class New Yorkers with a lifestyle different from middle class mid-century post-war Americans who longed for fur coats.

It is likely that the audience for this fur ad already had furs in her closet. Note that she is wearing pants. “What, this old thing?” No word what she was wearing on top under the fur. Perhaps nothing.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
