Stylish Moms of the '50s

Old-Fashioned Femmes

We love cool, desconstructionist fashion as much as the next Alexander Wang worshipper, but it can also make a high-waisted skirt and a string of pearls seem downright exotic. Whether or not these women vacuumed in heels à la June Cleaver, they certainly wore them to movie premiers and other Old Hollywood gatherings, becoming stylish mom icons just as celebrity culture was heating up.
