Bring on the red lips
Jane Birkin, looking particularly delectable, even for her - with red lips contrasted perfectly by her blue satin blouse - photographed by Schmid in 1975.
Beautiful textures and colors.
A cute little cover by Donovan.

Regard fixe
Yes, a piercing gaze is the best accessory, isn't it? Glorious shot taken by a photographer I haven't heard too much about - Sackmann. You might think that the styling was imperfect since the model's bangs are so uneven - this kind of thing happens to those of us who have a swirl in an unfortunate place - but personally, I think it just adds to the appeal.
A photograph that provides the perfect antidote for the superfocused stare above - Angelica Huston shot by Bob Richardson for Dior. Now, that's chilling.
Gunilla Lindblad wears YSL rive gauche. Pretty smashing...

T-straps and lashes
These T-straps are just so enchanting. Bally, of course, some of the best shoe ads the world has ever seen.
An ad for Salon du Pret a Porter....wonderful lashes.
This could very well be Bebe Buell, one of the most promising models of the early 70s. She, instead, devoted her life to punk rock and her daughter, Liv Tyler. She could have been one of the best models, I think, she photographed so well. Anyway, I'm not even 100% it's her in this Wella ad.
One of the few great editorial shots found in this magazines. The coat is by Kay Cosserat.

She comes in colors
The rainbow swimsuit by De Weese Designs - the name of this one is "Sunbirst".
Vanity fair ad.
Miss Couture ad featuring Donna Mitchell among others. Read the caption and you shall find that these dresses were considered "do anything dresses" - times change, eh?

Playing the field
....in what I think could be a sweater bathing suit - one of those wonderfully sick inventions of the late 60s. The bathing suit is by Cole of California and the year is 1969.
Another bathing suit by Brigance for Sinclair.
Outfit by Sport Trio.
Something quite, quite sick in this ad if you look a little deeper. These lovely droplets are made by mink oil! Well. It makes for a good picture, at any rate....

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.

Walk away in silence
Walter Albini's ads from the 70s appeared mostly in Italian publications and they were amazing. This one, however, is from Vogue Paris from 1977. The incredible colors and the daring nature of the ad - to have an ad for fashion where the garment itself can barely be seen - is very impressive.
One of those very early Gianni Versace ads - also, like the Albini ad above, with the theme of escape. Getting away from it all, even from the shoot, or the ad itself.
An YSL illustration.
On the go b/w Ducrot ad.

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.
