Flame-coloured brushstrokes form the backdrop for this chic, striking Vogue Patterns catalogue cover from June, 1964.

Does the swimwear pattern featured on the cover look familiar? You might recognize it from the photographs Helmut Newton took for the May 1st, 1964 issue of American Vogue. (Read all about it in my post, Patterns in Vogue: Helmut Newton at the Beach.)

Happy solstice!
