1920s fiction and fashion magazine. With a gorgeous oversize format, art covers and full colour pages, The Designer and the Woman’s Magazine was a coffee table ornament. Leading with illustrated short fiction, the middle of the magazine was full of fashion illustrations for women, and girls, promoting the publishers’ series of Standard-Designer patterns. In this 1920’s extravaganza there is a gorgeous ad for Ford Closed Cars, an article on decorating your home to match your hair “decorative smartness for silver locks” by Ethel Davis Seal, and designs for a new maj-jong table cover.
