It’s August, and that means time for the Mademoiselle college issue. There was a time when this issue was as important as the Seventeen Back-to-School issue. Today we think of the big Vogue September issue, but for their demographics, the August issues of Mademoiselle and Seventeen were just as big.
I can’t imagine a more perfect image of a 1950s college girl. Cashmere twin set? Check. Plaid kilt? Check. Just add a neat pageboy and a fresh face, and you are set.
Every year I still by my Self some things for “back to school” when we take the womb fruits. A new backpack, new notebook journals, new pens, a new outfit, and a new lipstick. You’re never to old to go back to school!

In the 50s, is it being started to portray that slims means beautiful?
