Samia Gamal Models Spring Fashions

 

Translated By Priscilla Adum

 

 

---------------

In the April 1949 issue of Kawakeb magazine, Samia Gamal models what every fashionable lady should have in her wardrobe.

The white letters on the black diagonal stripe say:

Spring Blouses Modeled By Samia Gamal.

On the left, above Samia's head it says:

Spring has begun, and with it begins ladies' attention to appropriate spring fashions. Here is star Samia Gamal modeling her choice of spring blouses.

Underneath the top round picture:

A knit blouse topped with a print scarf in the french style.

Next to the left picture:

Here's another knit top. The front is decorated with tree leaves which thrive in the springtime.

Next to the bottom round picture:

A cotton sailor top. Samia wears it on Nile cruises or at the beach.
