THE YEAR OF THE CAT - 1960


Junior Sophisticates

"Elegant epitome of the cat fur craze - as luxe a winter wrapping as any girl dares dream. Narrow jaguar coat shaped on the princess plan: high notched collar placed well off the neck; pockets placed low on the hips."


Viola Sylbert for Leathermode

"On the loose, jungle spotted leather pullover with white-dyed wolfskin and the classic V-necked sweater newly conceived in leather as a beautiful cat."


Winter

"A full sweep of jaguar-printed leather cut sans collar, cum fly front. Worn with a true jaguar hat."


Winter

"A splendid jaguar jacket - chic, sleek, sinuous as a car of the same name - dazzled by a great foam of red fox at the throat and wrists."
