Dim Fantasie Automne-Hiver 72-73
NA
1972
1972. NA. Very Good. Closed, 22 by 7.5 cm. Opening to become about 90 cm wide, with twelve panels, ten of which show a lithe woman in silhouette, the silhouette created entirely by different colored hose. Actual stocking material is used to create the silhouette -- this is a trade promotion for stockings or hose -- and the stocking is laid in a shallow recess cut out in the shape of the woman. The woman might be a dancer, exotic or more conventional, or merely a playful woman at the beach holding a large ball above her head. On this ball, here shown in black, is written the color of the sample, and the colors are given evocative names: chataigne, mais, potiron, cerise, marine, pervenche, naturel, cobalt, grenat, and olive. We don't know who actually issued this promotion unless it was "Dim Fantasie", but we love the playful and dramatic effect it presents, and we would regard it as a novel piece of marketing. Light wear. (Inventory #: 004851)
