After my picture in a knitted dress as a child, today a photo of SC (sccollections) and his brother dressed complety in knitwear, from top to toe. They are posing for a ladies magazine "Margriet", the one I once worked for. SC's father knew the photographer who asked him to have his sons as model. SC remembers the photoshoot as very annoying, they had to smile and the clothes they found both awful to wear. I can imagine that, even in 1951 you wouldn't dress like this as a boy, maybe only the sweater but not a knitted trouser.
But I think the photographer succeeded very well to make a nice picture after all, they look so cute!
Very fashionable, but it was already clear from yesterday's post that S.C. is a man of style. :-) I think that reindeer motif can still be seen on sweaters.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI remember having the piece of yarn from mitten to mitten, because my Mother had them on all our mittens - No one ever lost a mitten. Yes, I still see the reindeer on knitted sweaters here aboots too. SC most dapper, even as a child :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey may have been uncomfortable about having to wear those clothes, but they certainly look terrific.
BeantwoordenVerwijderensuch a cool story!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere is another one that needs to be proudly displayed in your home. A great conversation piece.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey may not have been thrilled about holding hands either. They are cute boys however and I like the sweaters.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJa dat was de tijd van het gebreide goed, vooral voor kinderen , en de zelfmaakkleding. Gebreide broeken moeten verschrikkelijk geweest zijn. Ik kan me wel herinneren dat een jongetje uit onze klas een rood gebreid broekje aanhad en toen hij een ongelukje had gehad was de hele bank rood. Gek dat je je dat soort dingen herinnert. Als kind begreep ik niet hoe die bank nou zo rood kwam, heb ik me later pas gerealiseerd. :))))))
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWel enorm leuk dat de foto's er nog zijn.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHet linker setje vind ik het meest jongensachtig.
Toch lijken ze er beide ontspannen bij te staan. Bijzonder kijkje in het verleden!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove the reindeer motif.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey were very fancy clothes...decorative.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh so cute. I agree not what a little boy would want to wear....SC and his brother made perfect models!
