Lily pads and Grès

This ad did not run long enough, judging by the selection of magazines from 1977 that I have managed to get my hands on, to become a classic in the general sense, but to me it certainly is. The perfect bottle of Grès replacing the flower of the lily is simple but ingenious.

Delicious!

Delicious indeed is this cover from December 1978 of British Vogue, shot by Alex Chatelain and featuring Kim Alexis in full on Yves Saint Laurent.



The ravishing Miss Dickinson wearing Krizia gear.


Some very convincing Dunhill ad.

In this issue of VP stemming from May 1977, we're offered this stunning image featuring, I am quite sure, I most lavishly expensive lipstick and a goldfish. Shot by the inimitable master Bourdin.


Janice Dickinson on the town at the peak of her success.


As today is the day that winter has mercilessly grabbed hold of the country I live, nothing can be more heart warming than an image of the most luscious spring day.


This Dior dress gets some treatment in this editorial. It's ethereal qualities are brought out. It doesn't happen much these days.

You don't want to meet this girl in a dark alley

Outstaring anyone is Carrie Nygren, 1976.



Janice Dickinson in all red.

March Issue 1980 American style

Gia and Eva Voorhis frollicking in the knits of the spring 1980 collections. Gorgeous guy biting Gia's finger whom I would love to know the name of - he was also in a Versace ad around this time.





Patti Hansen was, as far as I understand, the first model for Calvin Klein jeans....and she did it so well. Unfortunately I don't know the photographer for this one so it's not included in the file name as usual.


Janice Dickinson, making breaking up with her photographer boyfriend look beautiful. 1980 may have been her best year - there was a depth to her then, in addition to the eery energy level.
