Happy Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week!!!

1938 Burberry Advertisement.

The above photograph was taken at the first-ever Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in 1938. The event began far more modestly in Strassberg, and only lasted a single day; it was known as
"Mercedes-Benz Modebewusstgassespaziergängerintag." The advertisement was commissioned by then-Prime Minister of Great Britain Neville Chamberlain as a goodwill gesture after the signing of the Munich Agreement, and was featured in Time Magazine.
