The fashion industry is a very influential and prominent part of our society, and as such speaks to us on several levels, from the garments themselves right down to the fashion posters that advertise them and the designers. To give you a brief but detailed insight into some of the most memorable fashion posters around, here are our top five.
First up is the July 1939 front cover of Vogue, arguably one of the most well-known fashion and beauty magazines across the entire globe. The poster is so iconic due to its carefree and light hearted image of Muriel Maxwell, a model from the period, using her handbag mirror to apply lipstick. Its simplicity has a powerful impact on the viewer, while reinforcing the subtle elegance that Vogue is all about.
Another unforgettable image is that of the glamorous Audrey Hepburn holding her cigarette while looking head on at the camera. Having been an advocate of high fashion and sophistication, Hepburn is as memorable as it can get when it comes to fashion posters.
In third place on the list is long legs and stockings, a look that many would argue never goes out of fashion. The image on this poster not only captures the sex appeal of the past, but also shows the impact of fashion on the present. A very simplistic yet dramatic poster.
Undoubtedly one of the most fashionable and beautiful women to have lived, this list wouldn’t be complete without a high fashion Marilyn Monroe poster. This particular image sees the blonde bombshell enjoying the luxurious smell of Chanel No. 5, one of the must have perfumes then and now.
Finally we have the Italian Glamour poster. This image captures the chic beauty and high style that the Italian fashion industry is known and praised for. Furthermore, the illustrative quality of the piece adds a delicious vintage feel to the entire piece.
As you can see, posters are a very bold and engaging way to express yourselves and/or access potential customers.
