clippings #2

Just arrived back from Auckland and I am so burnt but at least I have a short film award under my belt (and for a 'sustainability' themed competition too!). I am back in Auckland next week but will post a photo diary of my short trip tomorrow! Meanwhile enjoy more clippings from my vintage magazines.

clippings # 1

I have just discovered a huge stash of old Vogues from the 80s. It's a lot of holiday fun looking at the advertising and things of interest then compared to now. I mean these magazines have cigarette ads, body oil ads, no airbrushing, and far more normal looking models. However there is also almost no celebrities and the articles are much more different. I am going to load up little clippings from these magazines over the next few days. So many of the 80s outfits now people wouldn't be caught dead wearing but there are details and colours and photos that I just can't ignore!

the beginnings of street style blogging

Aps recently blogged about one of her favourite street style blogs, Helsinki (from Finland). As a weird coincidence I came across an early 80s magazine collection at my grandparent's home. One of the articles I cut out was about Sweden street style! Now of course there would have been no street blogs back then (30 years ago!) but it had the same fundamental ideas-fashion of the people. Above are a few parts of the article I photographed (no scanner) in all my excitment! I especially love the layering of the second to last woman and the young girl with her partner (?) looks like someone that I'd like to know!
