OLD LABEL THREAD ~ 2006 ~ DO NOT USE
The Vintage Fashion Guild is constantly updating the Label Resource, and we welcome contributions. If you have labels to contribute, we ask that you
keep in mind a few guidelines.
First, please check the Resource to insure that your label is not already included.
If your label is NOT shown there, and you feel it should be, then post an image of the label onto this thread, together with details of
(1) date of garment
(2) type of garment
(3) any information you have about the designer/label.
Try to get a clear, straight shot of the label. Please crop it to show just the label, and resize it to 200 pixils across.
Also, because of the change of the label sizes when changing to the new format, some of the old labels are grainy and hard to read. If you have one of
the labels that is in this condition, we welcome your replacement label.
By posting your label image here, you are giving your copyright assignment for the image to go onto the Label Resource. You will be credited for your
contribution.
We are always looking for new information about any of the labels on the resource. Please post here or contact me if you have information you wish to
contribute!

I think that's it for the moment. I may have a couple more Ossies for you (the later ones)...
Crikey, that was quick - someone's already using my Janice write-up (uncredited, natch!) on ebay!!!

We are working on that problem, Liz. Hopefully we can get people to see that people work hard on the label resource, and that it needs to be
credited.

Hi Lizzie, I do hope something can be done but I'm not quite sure how anything can be implemented. It's frustrating  , particularly so soon after I wrote it....feels almost like they were
hovering, waiting for it (although obviously that's just my over-active imagination!!)...

This is from a late 50's skirted swim suit. You can not see the top of the label becasue of the stitching but it says New York Miami and then Rome
and Paris on the bottom.

Label image compliments of VintageClothes-line
Bio compliments of me
Mark Spitz/Arena Swimwear
In 1972, Mark Spitz won seven gold metals at the Olympic games in Munich. He retired after the victory, and became the first swimmer to have a
licensing contract with a sporting goods company. The match was the brainchild of Horst Dassler, head of Adidas France and son of Adi Dassler,
founder of Adidas. He had been dreaming of a competitive swimwear line and Spitz was the ingredient he needed to make it a reality.
Arena was launched in 1973 as a division of Adidas. In 1984, a sports brand company containing, Sarragen is created and spun off. Due to the death
of Mr. Dassler in 1987, Arena was reabsorbed back into the parent company. Today, through mergers and buyouts Arena International stands on its own
and continues to produce competitive swimwear.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'disco 70's' mens wear labels. A post on the VC&A Board on eBay has a sears label/shirt, thought you might be
interested.

I wrote to the hotel and enquired if they had any information about the label, and this was the response:
"Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Town & Country shop at the Waldorf=Astoria. Yes, this shop was one of several in the hotel for men and
ladies catering to the "carriage trade" in the 1940's and 1950's.
Although our archives have no reference to it, I have seen archive advertisements featuring it's location at the hotel which I believe was at street
level judging from the illustrations
Sincerely,
Jim Blauvelt
The Waldorf=Astoria"
I've dated the dress to roughly 1959 (with a knee level pull-in and bubble effect).

Me too! Am hoping no one buys it, LOL! It has silk crepe butterfly appliques with rhinestone antennae (sp? it's early!) on the bodice, and a couple
on the skirt.. Another hidden favourite of mine, they're all coming out of the woodwork so I shall try and get as many labels as I can for you!

This one you can put this label along with the otheres in the Jacobson's entry I already did, but can also be under its own entry.
Robert Talbott
From an 80s woven silk tie.
Robert Talbott was founded by Robert and Audrey Talbott in the 1950s. Audrey, prior to her marriage to Robert, was a clothing buyer. As a hobby, she
created bowties for Robert and his friends. With her skill and Robert's dream to manufacture a true quality product, Robert Talbott the company was
born. By 1955, the business was a success and they were travelling the world for silk.
In 1958, the first Robert Talbott store opened in Carmel, New York with a second opening in Pebble Beach in 1968. 24 years later, in 1992, a Madison
Avenue showcase store was opened.
Dress shirts were added to the Robert Talbott line in 1990, which had been exclusively ties up until this point. Casual shirts and outerwear
followed.
Today, Audrey Talbott has shifted her focus to high quality ladieswear and her eponymous line is featured at many boutiques throughout the country.
(Robert and Audrey Talbott have no connection to Talbot's stores, which have one "T")

Oh I am so stupid. I swore I did something on Jacobson's but i must have not really. I'll get on it so you can put the stanley blacker for
jacobson's label that you have from 3,000 years ago to good use. FOr now Talbott can be its own thing...but i WILL get to the J thing as well..

A VERY brief bio:
Morris Moskowitz
Morris Moskowitz was the founder of the eponymous handbag line. He grew up on the lower east side of New York city, and is known for high quality
purses sold at better department stores. Some of the purses only feature an "MM" in lieu of a complete signature. The "MM" mark has been in use
since 1949 and was officially trademarked in 1954. Mr Moskowitz passed away in 2001 at the age of 91.
