Time of the season

This image is the absolute gem in a gem of a magazine - the September issue of Vogue Paris 1966. It shows a bright blue Cardin jacket, but what impresses me most is the modern vibe. Thank you, David Bailey, for existing.




Another Cardin, here depicted in such harsh resolution you can barely make out the rough outlines of the dress. A beautiful photograph it is though, taken by Peter Knapp. It's interesting that, despite fairly detailed shots as the one above, they still published great images like this one which really doesn't tell you much about the features of the dress. But what's more important, it gives you an immediate feel for its purpose.


A revillon ad.


Wilhelmina in black diamond mink. A rather horribly retouched image, but she looks possessed as always.

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.


Running away from it all (dressed in Feraud and Lanvin).

The devil wears Jantzen

The exhibitionist frock that goes along with the Jantzen product.


Unfortunately unidentified outfit in the Paris collections of 1964.


Cardin dress worn by Hiroko.


A tender image of the innocent Jean Shrimpton "wrapped in a flowered cloud" in the form of a dress by Yves Saint Laurent.

Perfectly sweet

Gorgeous cover of Marie Claire, 1968, featuring a beautiful dress by Jean Patou. This is another side of the 60s than we saw on the runways over the last few weeks - that strict, preppy yet suffering kind of look.



Another deer-in-the-headlights stare.


I believe it's Patou, Dior, Cardin and Ricci.


A most lovely Perrier ad.

Everything's gone green

On this beautiful cover samples of the fall collections of Yves Saint Laurent, Cardin and Ungaro from 1971 meet. The most perfect shade of green...
