This festive December 1955 issue blends holiday elegance with midwinter fashion, highlighting Paris satin, Mainbocher’s luminous blues, and a full array of seasonal whites—from knitted day looks to glamorous eveningwear. The holiday features extend to ski fashion in vivid colors, gift recommendations, pre-party dresses, and resort looks for readers traveling south for the season.
The fiction and cultural pieces bring together distinguished contributors including W. S. Merwin, Marianne Hauser, and May Natalie Tabak, while profiles of Brancusi, Marcel Marceau, Ruth Gordon, and Carol Channing add depth to the issue’s artistic focus. Junior Bazaar offers vibrant, youthful style in stripes, sweaters, and sun-ready ensembles.
This issue is an excellent addition for collectors of mid-1950s fashion, Louise Dahl-Wolfe covers, and the golden era of Harper’s Bazaar editorial design.
