Bob Lawrie for DIM
France, 1970s
A wonderfully playful original period advertising poster by British illustrator Bob Lawrie for iconic French hosiery brand DIM.
Set against the brilliant blue of a swimming pool, a wonderfully improbable collection of brightly colored stocking-clad legs bursts through the water. Beach characters, accessories, and DIM-branded balls complete the scene, creating a witty and distinctly Pop Art vision of 1970s fashion advertising.
Signed **Bob Lawrie** within the printed composition, the design perfectly captures the exuberant visual language of the period, combining comic-book-inspired drawing, bold flat colors, fashion, and a touch of surreal humor.
The reverse is equally fascinating and is printed with additional period DIM advertising material, including illustrated instructions for dyeing stockings at home.
A particularly fun survivor of 1970s French advertising culture and a great decorative piece for a Pop Art, Mid-Century Modern, or eclectic interior.
Color print on paper.
