Train Commute With a Show, 1949
When you’re on your daily commute, you don’t really expect anything out of the ordinary to happen. Most days are the same, and you usually come home tired from your journey. These train passengers probably felt a little differently about their daily ride home because they were lucky enough to be the audience of a fashion show.
While we’re not really sure what prompted this fashion show, we can surely say that many of the passengers were quite happy about it. This photo was taken in 1949 and seems kind of scandalous to our modern eyes. Who would expect a woman in lingerie to come walking down the aisle of your subway train nowadays?
