💋 The Wartime Beginning
During World War II, the Pin Up Girl was more than just a pretty picture — she was a morale booster for troops overseas. Posters of glamorous women adorned barracks, lockers, and planes, bringing a touch of home to soldiers far from it.
🎞️ From Posters to Photography
While early Pin Up Girl art was often illustrated, post-war years saw the rise of photography. Photographers captured models in vintage-inspired outfits, maintaining the same charm and elegance of painted pin ups.
