The 1940s was a decade which saw the end of World War II, the release of 'It's a Wonderful Life' and the breaking of the color line in baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers debuting Jackie Robinson in 1947.
So in honor of such great decade, we bring to you the 10 1940s features. Check them all out, from vintage vixen photography to 1940s fashion shoots.
Implications - The recent recession caused budget-conscious consumers to flee to vintage and thrift stores for affordable products. This has led to a resurgence of retro styles that consumers crave for their unique designs. Companies can adapt their product lines to incorporate antique elements into their designs, appealing to their target markets.
