Antonio's girls indeed

One of the best Interview covers of all time was released in August 1973, the theme was mostly Antonio Lopez, the illustrator, and his girls....On the cover, though, is Uschi Obermeier.

And the girls then - some big names such as Jessica Lange and Grace Jones, his own discoveries. Another one is "Lisette" whom I think is really Lizette Kazan, later to become an important fashion director. And then, a rare shot of Pola.

An amorous shot - Lou Reed, Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

A beautiful, simple shot of the fashion designer Adrian's grave.

Thought of you as my mountain top

Lovely illustration of Halston by Antonio Lopez which captures the intensity of Halston's gaze. Before Tom Ford's ascent on Gucci in the 90s, there seemed to be little left of the Halston influence on fashion. Of course the man himself died in 1990, but someone once so influential - well you could say that he was the man who made American fashion relevant - it was surprising to see his influence so entirely depleted. Now, in my opinion, the Tom Ford version of Halston does not feature the best of it - that casual, carefree yet preppy look.

This month it is about 27 years ago since Halston was kicked out from the Olympic Towers by the corporate managers. He could no longer design under his own name. In fact, he never did.

Always keep your Mick handy

It certainly looks like the inimitable Apple - Appolonia - in this editorial by an unspecified photographer. Mick Jagger as he was featured in Performance looming in the background.


Antonio Lopez and some lovely Ladies who are both dressed in Cardin (if I interpret the captions correctly).


Gunilla Lindberg, the Swedish model who was active especially around 1969-1973.
