ORIGINAL 1920 BROCHURE — "Irene Castle — PHILIPSBORN'S Designer"
A stunning piece of fashion history: this 1920 brochure announces that dance and style icon IRENE CASTLE has signed an exclusive contract to design for PHILIPSBORN'S, the Chicago mail-order house. The brochure proclaims "DAME FASHION" herself as "the best dressed woman in the world," introducing her "Castlesiyles" line — "Wear 'Castlesiyles' Designed by Irene Castle Herself."
ABOUT IRENE CASTLE:
Half of the famous dance duo Vernon and Irene Castle, Irene was one of the defining style icons of the 1910s–20s. She is credited with popularizing the bob haircut in 1914. Philipsborn's catalogs are recognized as important records of early 20th-century fashion — their 1921 catalog was later reprinted by Dover Books as a fashion history reference.

• Copyright 1920, Jas. L. Hill, New York
• Two-sided illustrated brochure with rotogravure portrait and fashion sketches
CONDITION:
Original vintage condition with edge tears, folds, and light staining, as shown in the photos. Please review all pictures carefully before buying. *unframed
