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.

Throwaway Fashion - Dolly December 1981

This gorgeous little two-page mini fashion spread is the punkiest I've seen Dolly magazine ever get!  It's kind of a cleaner, sweeter version of punk - the girl wearing the multi-coloured head piece definitely reminds me of the Blitz Kids and that's a very good thing indeed!

This spread is in the Annie Jones issue from a couple of posts ago - it is a fabulous issue, and I will be posting more to come from it shortly.

The Face Magazine September 1982

Sue Clowes Fashion Feature - Designer for Culture Club

Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama modelling The Face T-Shirt

Another one from my Face magazine collection.  Featuring an emerging fashion subculture which The Face identified as 'Hard Times' and this look was reminiscent of Marlon Brando - fifties rebel.  Think torn Levi's jeans topped with even more torn shirts/tops, with the soundscape being primarily soul music.  The third image is the snapshot of the club kids from this scene and I remember when I first flicked through this issue, and upon seeing that page I just stared at these pics for so long.

The last image I think is a really cute one of Siobhan from Bananarama!  I would looove to get my hands on one of these Face t-shirts!!
