Vintage Sunday - the 80s take II.

Last week I was reminiscing about the 80s. It was an era that gave us Flash dance, Rubic's cube and neon - that has made a great comeback. We watched Dynasty and listened to Madonna and New Kids on The Block (at least I did..).
But today let's concentrate more on the fashion. The only cover I could find from 1981 - the year I was born - was August issue of Vogue with Princess Diana who just got married to Charles. Wasn't she pretty?!
Towards the end of the 80s the supermodels have started to appear. As you can see Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford were among the first. Claudia, Stephanie and more followed. They all looked very fresh faced no? What is your favourite memory/thing that came out of the 80s?
Have a stylish day.

Jewelled Wednesday by Louis Vuitton

I have to admit I only got round to reading December Vogue today, when the January issue is coming out any day now. It's been a busy month. But today I had my hair done at Tony and Guy, where apart from being pampered, I spent three hours catching up on magazines. Whilst I was flicking through it, I noticed this advert by Louis Vuitton and was amazed by the beautiful necklace. I was planning to do a post about statement necklaces today, but didn't expect to find this. It's so perfect! Total stand out piece. Probably a bit pricey, but with Christmas coming up.. You never know what you may find under the Christmas tree. A girl can dream right? Also I couldn't help but notice how great is Christy Turlington looking. I really need to know her beauty secrets.
Have a stylish day.

Vintage Sunday by Arthur Elgort

I'm having a bit of a Christy Turlington week, as you seem to love her as much as I do. She was one of the SUPERS for a reason. She looks so great she doesn't even need much make up or anything else really. This is a great example of that courtesy of Arthur Elgort for Interview magazine 1987. Elgort was a master of showing natural beauty and this photo is simply amazing. I love his work and am planning to show more of it over the coming weeks.
Have a stylish day.

Christy Turlington for Vogue Italia

As many of you seemed to like my last Vintage Sunday post featuring the ever so beautiful Christy Turlington, I decided to show that her beauty really is timeless. Just look at this editorial photographed by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia July 2010, she doesn't seem to have aged a day! What I love about this photoshoot is the contrast of beautiful clothes and rough background. I think it makes it more interesting. Vogue Italia of course isn't afraid of experimenting. Their editorials are great.
Oh and by the way, does anyone know Christy's beauty secrets? I want to look like that!
Have a stylish day.

Vintage Sunday

Another good example of great black and white photography and the power of the supers. Can Christy Turlington look any better. Of course the amazing styling of Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele (whose work I feature a lot in Vintage Sundays) and photograpy by Steven Meisel makes all a match made in heaven. Did you know French Carlyne's editorial work first appeared in Anna Wintour's first issue of Vogue? Lots of great styling work followed including her latest cover for Vogue Italia featuring Rachel Zimmerman. But today let her show us how powerful accessories can really be.
Have a stylish day.
