Advertisement, Kaufman's of Kentucky, "Picasso Prints" Women's Fashion Dresses, Original Magazine Ad, USA, 1961

Picasso Prints, scoop necklines, and a store that no longer exists.

Kaufman's of Kentucky opened in 1903, was acquired by L.S. Ayres in 1969, and closed in 1971 — leaving behind only memories, and pieces like this. This 1961 full-page color ad showcases their "Picasso Prints" dress collection: scoop necklines, molded bodices, matching belts, full skirts — the complete vocabulary of early 1960s fashion confidence. Three models, three dresses, one very specific moment in Kentucky retail history.

A wonderful piece for vintage fashion collectors, Kentucky history enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the elegance of early 1960s American style. Frames beautifully.
