And you can feel it if you're one of my kind

Well, that was quite a hiatus...but now I have a few treasured lined up for you guys starting with this issue of French Elle from 1974. First off, a lovely trio with Vibeke, Margarite Ramme and Willy van Rooy, shot by Hans Feurer. Thanks to Willy for disclosing the full cast of this shot! It's amazing to get to hear from the people in these shots - this one in particular since it inspired me to come back from my work-addled blog hiatus and post more!

Vintage street style, at it's best.

Farmer chic.

Say it with a straw

Lovely dress.


Beauty shot.


Keep your head cool.

Not even in your wildest dreams....

....could you conceive of anything like this. The butch biker school girl. Impeccable Kansai Yamamoto look on the runway in 1980.


Former graphics designer Michaele Pollock made this outfit together with Nancy Pollock - just stunning.


Jerry Hall in Versace with a bunch of guys at her feet.


A shot from the same mag but in fact from 1974, by Serge Lutens, it's a take-out from a Dior perfume shoot.

And the mist will wrap around us

Holding a candle for love, 1961.

A heavenly person today

Actually, there are two fantastic models in this editorial from 1974 - sadly I have no idea who they are and the one in the 2nd and 3rd pictures I don't even think I have seen in any other editorial, except on the cover of one 1973 L'Officiel Paris, come to think of it. If anyone knows...please send a line.

Inspiration from, perhaps Angelica Huston, whom in 1974 did not seem to fear the cinematic reaper Jack Nicholson...
