Spot ... Stop - Dolly October 1985

I love love love the pastel ice-cream colours in this spread popping out from the black and white image - so iconic.  Photography by Andrew Southam and unfortunately the model is not credited.  Favourite image has to be the close up of the Ray-Ban-esque sunglasses and the Madonna style head wrap.

A gorgeous editorial here featuring gingham mixed with polka dots.  It is definitely a very '88 look - especially if the outfits were paired with a pair of brogues.  Emma Balfour is the model on the cover and the fashion spread and she made it quite big in the modelling world.  I think she even made an appearance in the last season of Australia's Next Top Model.  I always like seeing where the clothes are from, and I can see Sportsgirl and Cherry Lane items in the mix.  I may do a Sportsgirl ad feature very soon I think..

As promised, here is a selection of advertisements from Cherry Lane.  I tried to look up a bit of information online about them in terms of how long they traded for, but alas found nothing.  The ads don't appear in any issues that I have before '85 though, and judging by the '91 ad here, they went through until the mid 90's perhaps.  I've always found their ads to be interesting and I'm thinking they specialised in cotton separates.
