Interwoven Socks Advertisement (1920) by J.C. Leyendecker lions_pride_art recasting a Black working-class sitterJ. C. Leyendeckers Interwoven Socks Advertisement (1920) makes hosiery feel like a private performance. A sharply dressed man bends forward, robe slipping open, one stockinged leg raised on a red velvet stool beneath the promise: No Equal for Wear. Created for Interwoven Toe and Heel Socks, it belongs to Leyendeckers brilliant run of menswear advertising, where grooming became glamour and product display became theatre.
