A few randomly found color slides featuring a young lady posing poolside that I have no info about, but I would guess this to be sometime midish 1960s. Lots of style and vintage sass - too good not to share with the community!

Vintage 1950s Jantzen Strawberry Swimsuit
One of my top holy grail pieces! I'd had this on my ISO for years, and was lucky enough to stumble upon it in an antique mall that I got for what felt like theft. Arguably one of Jantzen's most well-documented and famous designs in their 110+ year history, and that's coming from a brand that popularized the term "swimsuit" in the first place! They had two main designs, cherries and strawberries. I don't think I'd buy the cherry if I came across it as I'm feeling blessed enough to own the strawberry one that I got for a song, but I might be tempted if I come across another steal 🤭. Wearing with a 60s straw sunhat by Beaver Hat Co 🍓☺️ This swimsuit was also worn by Scarlett Johansson for an ad back in the day.
