Scarlette Magazine In an era of instant filters and fast fashion, we keep reaching backwards to the soft-focus glow of old Hollywood. From the silhouettes sewn with intention to a time when beauty felt slower, richer and more enchanting, pieces of the past slip into the present: in the way we dress, the movies we watch and the icons we still idolize.

Thurber House recently featured in a #vintage #fashion #photoshoot by The Ohio State University's Scarlette Magazine. 📸🏡 Check out the #photos on their website!
