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.

Vintage Sunday

Today's Vintage Sunday post goes to this great photograph by Peter Lindbergh. I fell in love with it straight away. It was taken in 1991 but looks as fresh today as it did back then. Note the amount of supermodels! They're all there: Claudia, Cindy, Naomi.. And you can see why they're still so popular to this day. The sex appeal is just uncompareable to most of modern girls.
This shoot is about luxury, with models dripping in Chanel, but it's very rock'n'roll. It gives the impression luxury is affordable to anyone, but in a good way. Or maybe they want to tell us to be glamourous anywhere, at any occasion. Either way it's very inspiring. I love!
Have a stylish day.

Fashion in Motion

Today I am very excited, because I am attending Fashion in Motion at my favourite Victoria and Albert museum. It's a series of catwalk shows by well-known designers, that they do once in a while. This time the designer is noone less than ERDEM MORALIOGLU. The half english, half turkish, Royal College of Art graduate is known for his beautiful dresses, use of bold colours and amazing prints. I can't wait to see the collection on the runway and of course report back to you.
He has done a stint in New York for Diane von Furstenberg,which can only be a good thing, and founded his own label Erden with ready-to-wear collection in 2005. Since then he has been very popular with celebrities and worn by the likes of Keira Knightley, Claudia Schiffer, Thandie Newton, Chloe Sevigny and the list goes on. Of course he has been recognized for his work as well. In 2007 he won the Swarowski British Fashion Council Enterprise Award and British Fashion Council's Fashion Forward Award in 2008. He was also nominated by the British Fashion Council for Designer of the Year of 2009. In four years since he entered the fashion world, that is quite an achievement!
Have a stylish day.
