Soviet Glamour

The enchanting fashion models who appeared on posters in the ’40s and ’50s were called Pinup girls. The posters were officially issued by the representatives of local parties of the government. The only difference is that these are illustrations and not actual photographs and were mostly used in America to hang in places like garages and restaurants, all for the sake of aesthetic.

These specific posters in the ad are vintage Soviet pinups representing Russia’s working class and were made by Valery Barykin. He made himself a big name through this series and was known to mix Russian and American styles in his art.
