Therese Giacaman (nee Harb) and her husband Elias Giacaman, 1960

Title: Therese Giacaman (nee Harb) and her husband Elias Giacaman, 1960
Description: The photograph shows George Harb's sister Therese and her husband Elias Giacaman on 31st July 1960. Their style of dress is indicative of the period: Therese wears her hair in a bouffant, a popular hairstyle in the late 1950s, early 1960s. Her dress is also representative of a popular shape and style of the time; a tight bodice which pulled in the natural waist or slightly higher which met a very full skirt. Men would wear suits that dropped straight to the hip hitting around mid-thigh, like the one sported by Elias. Most suits were single-breasted with long, wide lapels, and fastened up the front with two or three buttons sitting low, exposing a long necktie.
