Vidal Sassoon Advertisement - British Vogue June 1983

These ads from Vidal Sassoon are so WOW!  Kinda reminding me of an image collaboration between Visage and Roxy Music.  The photography is credited to Spencer Rowell.

Bleach Baby - Dolly June 1987

Here's a Fashion Workshop feature instructing on bleaching denim for some double denim outfits.  I absolutely love the bandana from Sportsgirl styled to look like a cap, and also the denim baker boy cap in the cover shot.  I'm not sure who the model is unfortunately, if anyone can ID her please leave a comment.

Inner City Blues - Dolly June 1986

I haven't done a mid 80's post for quite a while so here we have a denim themed spread for 1986 Dolly.  Featuring models Amanda, Sibyl and Anna-Louise Gould wearing a whole lotta double denim!  Photography by the inimitable Graham Shearer - enjoy!

Skirting Around The Edges - Dolly June 1982

Okay so clearly I'm obsessed with 1982!  The fleecy skirt looks here so remind me of Bananarama - in their early years of course, and especially when they worked with Fun Boy Three (love that band).  The red ruffly top by Jonathan Elliot in the fourth picture I would love to own, and I really like the shoes by Coral Lea.

Re-Vamping The Wardrobe - POL Magazine June 1979

Photography Pierre Vauthey

This fashion spread reminds me a lot of the English Blitz Kids kind of look with their glamorous attire, make-up and pill-box hats.  Especially that shot of the leopard suit - which by the way is cut in quite a timeless way and doesn't look as dated as the pleated lamé pants (although I kinda like them too).  The annoying thing is that none of the clothes or the models are credited!  If anyone has any information, I'd love to know.

Business As Usual - Dolly June 1982

Here we have the early 80's Dolly pin-up girl Alex Wileman in a range of frilly blouses and knickerbockers.  As I'm not from Sydney, I wonder if this location has changed much since when this was shot... and if Giro's Jewellery is still there!  I must also mention the cover of this issue - it is just so cute and vibrant.  The model sure has a lot of 'e's' in her name.

Take a Walk (..on the wild side) - Dolly June 1985

I've been trying to find left-of-field editorials from the Dolly's and this fits the bill.  A kind of edgier, darker, rebellious themed spread from Christian Lemech as photographer.  I really like the image where the model (Natalie) is wearing the stripy outfit with patches on her knees (minus the platform thongs which ruin it unfortunately - some brogues would have worked so much better).
