Max Factor Advertisement - Dolly February 1980

A cute and very 1980 advertisement for eye pencils from Max Factor.  Hmmm... I'll take all ten colours!

The Centre Of Attention - POL Magazine February 1980

Stunning Australian fashion here by YA-YA Oblique, of which I could not find a scrap of information about, unfortunately, but that's what I love about finding these magazines - the showcasing of independent Australian designers of the time.  I love the use of shapes in the clothes and seriously want the entire outfit in the last shot (oh and probably all of the other ones too).

Now that I have my fancy new A3 scanner, I can finally upload some fabulous shots from my POL magazine collection.  The fashion in this piece is by Nila O.  The only information I could see online about her was possibly her now being a fashion illustration teacher at Sydney Community College - it seems possible!  I see these looks as being mime artist crossed with jockey and I like it!

There's some more amazing fashion from this issue that I'll post tomorrow.

I've been trying to stick with posting at least once a day, so here goes!  This spread is kinda daggy in terms of the fashion, but sweet at the same time.  Some of the outfits do not date well at all, but a couple have fared well including the yellow polka dot/stripy pant combo and the stripy playsuit in the last picture (in my opinion anyway) enjoy!
