I wanted to let you know about this great resource I found tonight. Paper Pursuits, is a web site where you can find and order print fashion collectibles, such as official fashion show catalogs from Versace, Valentino, and Hermes. Or old fashion magazines from vintage 1930's Harper Bazaar to international fashion magazines to more recent issues of W and InStyle.
Most exciting though is that they offer the Vogue Couturier Design, Vogue Paris Original and Vogue Americana pattern collections from the 60's-70's. These patterns featured designers like Pucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Nina Ricci, Bill Blass, and Pierre Cardin. Just look at these great designs and their unique details:
They are pricey though, from $24 to $58 per pattern. However, just looking at them has given me ideas. I love this one and this one. Enjoy.
