Fur pieces of one form or another have always been used to add a touch of soft elegance and glamour to feminine fashion.  And that was especially true during the mid-twentieth century when well dressed women were seen with mink stoles about their shoulders and supported in the crooks of their long gloved arms for both day and evening wear.  For many of us, the ubiquitous mink stole became a symbol of the elegant, glamorous and even fetish fashions of that era - even to the point of becoming a fetish item.  With that thought in mind, we have started a small collection of fashion photos and movie out takes (Guys and Dolls, and How to Marry a Millionaire) from that era depicting just how mink stoles were frequently used to make the female form look chic, elegant and ever so sexy (for many of us anyway) during that era.  If you agree, please contact us and let us know.  And if you have other examples, please pass them along to Carl at carl@retroxotique.com for possible inclusion in a future update on this theme.
