The Beauty of Retrospect, February Model Edition: Happy Birthday, Nancy Donahue! (Part Four)

Throughout the 1980s, you could expect to find Nancy Donahue not only on fashion magazine covers and in fashion and beauty editorials, but in numerous clothing and accessories ads, including ads for . . . Hathaway shirts?


Yes, there are such things as Hathaway women's shirts, Both of these photos of Nancy Donahue are from Hathaway ads in fashion supplements of the New York Times Sunday magazine.  The first one is from August 1982, the second one from February 1983. 


So you don't think dress shirts are sexy? :-D 

The Hathaway women's wear ads defined the brand's clothes as style that was "hard to define . . . but easy to recognize."  And especially easy to recognize when Nancy Donahue wore them. :-)
