Figure 1.--These children's outfits appeared in a Soviet fashion magazine published in Latvia during 1967. The fashion houses in Latvia and Estonia were especially prestigious during the Soviet era. |

We note another Soviet fashion magazine. The title was Rizhskaya moda dlya detej (Riga fashions for children). The magazine was bi-lingual, printed with text in both the Latvian and Russian languages. The Latvian name of the catalog was Rigas modes bernien. We note the magazine being published in the 1960s. A Russian reader tells us that Latvian and Estonian fasgion houses were especially prestigious in the Soviet Union. We suspect that a major factor here was that the Baltics republics had greater contact with Western countries and thus Western fashions than other areas of the Soviet Union.
