Vintage Bally Posters
Part of the reason it’s been so quiet here is that I am hauling half my stock over to the Pomona Antique Row in downtown Pomona, CA. I have rented a small space at the Pomona Antique Mart (formerly Robbins) on 2nd Street. I really do need to get rid of stuff that I am just too lazy to photograph and keep the goods I think Debutante Clothing customers will want — if they’re still around since I’ve been so bad about stocking the online store as well.
In the process of crafting a cute little tag for my antique mall items, I came across some vintage Bally posters that are so graphic and sophisticated that I had to share. I won’t pretend to be an art historian, or even mildly educated in the art world — we have Jennine of the Coveted for that. But these posters remind me of Soviet propaganda posters — with legs!


I ended up using the red and black version, since I think she most resembles the model in my header.

Those posters are gorgeous, i think you made the right choice, the red is my fave.
Aren’t they beautiful? I’m glad I chose the red one too. She’s sassy.
WOW these are fabulous! Wonderful post. These would be so great to display anywhere.
