Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair had a Fashion Pavilion with a live fashion show. Four times a day, models paraded across “lily pad” platforms suspended over a perfumed fountain. The show was titled “The Miracle of American Fashion” and produced by Vogue magazine. The outfits were from manufacturers all over the country who were making stylish clothing at price points that would be affordable to middle-class fairgoers. The collection of clothing changed every month—making a total of six different shows during the run of the fair. While many looks were casual and affordable, this tailored suit from Handmacher was the most expensive look shown in the mid-August to mid-September show. The original script described it like this: "Handmacher stacks the fashion cards in this sleek tweed suit of Spanish red, featuring a semi-fitted jacket, walkable slender skirt, plus matching fringed stole. One of the best of city to country autumn suit ideas, by Handmacher for $99.”
