1980
One of the joys of working at Frederick’s is the amount of vintage catalogs we unearth the office. They pop up everywhere–file cabinets, boxes, desk drawers–and they never cease to amaze us. Check out this little gem from 1980.
Now you know where Cosmo got the inspiration for their headlines. Are you his Dream Girl? Can you answer this honestly? Think about it, ladies.
Bouclé knits–it’s so very Chico’s. And yet–not.
Why do you do it? The Portable Steam Bath, the Twist N’ Tone,™ the Vibrating Tingle Exerciser for two? You do it for love, baby.
Man Alive! Do you miss men in the catalog? Men in peek-a-boo panties? Men in caftans? Are those two in the sheer ensembles going to throw it down or what? And how cute is that dog?










Yes, I miss men in women’s lingerie catalogs. WE should not descrimnate, anything’s possiable!
1These 80s catalogue shots are great!
2OMG that steam bath – hilarious!
I’d love for men to return, as long as they leave the “Nightwatch Caftan” in the 80s where it belongs.
