Vintage Photos

Recently a friend of mine, Elena Jacqueline, posted some family photos on her personal site. I wanted to share them because I think the photos showcase the romantic style from the 1940's and 60's that I so love; stripes, starched collars, circular frames, peak-style lapel blazers,  one size jackets, and kitten heels. 

Elena's grandparents were Jewish French-Italians who grew up in Tunis, Tunisia during the 1940's. After WWII they moved to Italy to pursue the communist cause as well as careers in engineering and the arts.
