Vintage Covers: Vogue April 1, 1956, The Spring Bonnet
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade. . .
With the awakening of Lady Spring, a floral covered bonnet will surely not be amiss in your seasonal wardrobe. A natural coloured straw lampshade hat, completely covered in multi-coloured blooms of all varieties is the perfect statement piece for the early days of this season leading up to Eastertide. The white outfit and pale pink earrings recede, allowing the playful blossoms to take centre stage. A flourish of bright and bold lipstick is the perfect final touch for an ensemble that so clearly heralds “Spring”.
Inspiration for this fashion look from the magazine cover of Vogue April 1, 1956.

What a beautiful magazine cover, Nicole. I also enjoy seeing your artwork and photography. And, last but not least, you did a good job on your cape and it looks good on you.

I meant to write “covers.” Both yours and Vogues. Yours also looks professional. 🙂
