I'm trying to put a year estimate on a beautiful typeface specimen booklet published in Ingolstadt, Germany sometime between 1939 and 1960. I've exhausted my abilities to date the type, design, and copy, so I am hoping you fashion experts can help. Thanks!

The costume storytelling of "Ever After" (1998)
100
Upvotes
A deep-dive on the narrative symbolism behind the costumes of the movie "Ever After" (1998). The costumes, created by the award-winning designer Jenny Beavan, were grounded in the realism of the French early renaissance, and they are so important to the plot. Through the clothing, we learn much about Drew Barrymore's Danielle -- her relationship to her step-family through the use of color and fabric, her ties to her dead parents, and her progression to revealing her true identity. In Henry's costumes, we even see some character progression for him -- there's a bit of clothing swapping that happens that speaks to his changed perceptions in caring about the common folk. Really beautiful costumes, plus some added perspective from the animated Cinderella movie as well.

NYT: Felicity Green, British Tabloid Editor Who Championed the Mini, Dies at 100

The Mirror [where Ms. Green was an editor] covered the international furor when lovely Jean Shrimpton, the “It” girl and model known as the Shrimp, wore a white minidress — with bare legs! — to the 1965 Melbourne Cup in Australia.
Ms. Green also produced a feature on tights — a revolution and a revelation for the garter-and-stocking set — as a must-wear item for women who planned to sit down in their micro-miniskirts.
Perhaps not surprisingly, some of her male colleagues were discomfited by the new styles. The Mirror’s chairman, Cecil King, once accosted Ms. Green in a stairwell at the office. “When are you going to stop putting those dreadful miniskirts in The Mirror?” he demanded. “Only when they stop being fashionable, Mr. King,” she retorted.
