Penny Duncan #14 Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie design showcases a fragment of mid-20th-century allure, centered around Penny Duncan, a recognized "Vintage Female Icon."

Visual Elements & Composition
The design features the key visual components found on pages 3 & 4 of the original magazine spread. This includes two black-and-white photographs of Penny Duncan, offering a direct replication of the source material. The layout likely echoes the magazine's original design, incorporating the placement of the photographs and potential accompanying text blurbs, albeit adapted for a hoodie format.
