ARCHIVE - 1950s Jonathan Logan Navy Two Skirt Suit
This charming 1950s navy-blue cotton two piece skirt set is by popular American ready-to-wear designer Jonathan Logan. The set is comprised of a sleeveless top and full ankle-length skirt in thick navy cotton. Logan was known for his signature quirky details and both the top and skirt feature fabric coloured buttons in red, pale pink and navy at the centre front. There is a pretty white cotton buckle belt with pink and white polka dot print to anchor the piece. The top has a rounded collar and is tailored at the waist and the skirt is gathered under the waistband with forward facing pocket details level with the hips. This lovely ensemble has a delightfully youthful aesthetic and can be easily worn as separates if desired.
This ensemble is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws. It has no size or compostion label. We have recommended a US size 4-6, UK size 8-10 due to the waist measurement, although the top would fit a size bigger at US 8, UK 12. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm), both the skirt and top were roomy on her, the top more so than the skirt. The fabric has no stretch.

What is archival fashion?
Archival fashion refers to historically significant designer garments preserved for their cultural, aesthetic, or technical importance. At Circa, archival fashion includes couture archive pieces, runway garments, early designer work, and museum-quality vintage that document the evolution of fashion history.
How is archival fashion different from vintage?
While vintage typically describes clothing over 20 years old, archival vintage is selected for its rarity, provenance, and relevance to a designer’s archive or fashion history. Circa specialises in archival pieces rather than general vintage.
