A superb collection of b/w photographs presented in essay format by influential fashion photographer Irving Penn. Best known for his classically elegant visual style and his long association with Vogue magazine, these photographs feature Paris fashions that appeared in Vreeland's exhibition "The Tens, The Twenties, The Thirties: Inventive Clothes/ 1909-1939" at the The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, Dec. 14, 1973-May, 1974. The work of Paul Poiret, Madeleine Vionnet, Callot, Molyneux, Paquin, Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are some of early 20th century French couture masters included in this look at fashion as it evolved from the Belle Epoque into the modern era, just before WWII. From the dust jacket: "The fashions of the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s were as glorious as they were socially reflective. Inspired by the exhibit organized by Diana Vreeland for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Irving Penn's masterly picture essay captures the flavor of the times as well as literal details of design. Because of her participation in and astute observation of, the scene in which these fashions were born, Diana Vreeland in her text is able to provide a unique glimpse into the lives of each of the couturiers, and her captions to Penn's sensitive photographs are rich in detail. From the straight-line creations of Paul Poiret to the classically modern work of Gabrielle Chanel and the fanciful innovations of Elsa Schiaparelli, Penn has included the most remarkable material─designs that provided the principles from which all fashion to follow would grow."

No show but stays on
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I wear these socks daily. They truly don’t show with my workout shoes or with hey dudes. But the best thing about them is that they actually stay on your foot. I work out hard and I don’t ever have to pull them up. I do wish they were just a little bit thicker than they are, but they are definitely a product I will buy again.

Great for workouts
Size: 10.5, Color: (110) Summit White/White/Khaki Base
I bought these shoes for home workouts, both lifting and aerobics. They're very stable, have the perfect amount of cushion without compromising stability, and are comfortable. They run a bit small; I'm usually a 10, ordered a 10.5 and my toe is at the end. They're snug but not tight and seem to have a good amount of room in the toe box. I'd recommend these.

My walking shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: (418) Blue Smoke/White/Nu Blue
I bought these last year before a vacation when I knew we'd be doing miles of walking a day. I had ZERO blisters breaking them in and immediately walking 10k+ steps in them. Now they still get a lot of wear at home for outings when walking will be involved. No issues, very comfortable, would recommend!

Don’t pass these up!
Size: 9, Color: (673) Tourmaline Pink/Summit White/Maroon Mist
I’m 67 years old, 5’3” tall, and weigh 117 pounds. I bought these shoes to wear during my daily “walking workouts “. When I first tried the shoes on they seemed too firm but I decided to give them a try and I’m glad I did! The cushioning was excellent and there was ample toe room. The color of the shoes is the same as the picture - and is really pretty.
