Erupting Into Summer - POL Magazine October 1979

Photographer Gilbert Rossi
Model Belinda Seper

I am a huge fan of space-age stylings, and this spread is certainly one to add to the collection.  Shot by Gil Gilbert in the stunning surrounds of Hawaii, it provides for a stark, almost apocalyptic vision of the future filled with neon leotards and barren wasteland.

Fashion 2001 - POL magazine August 1982

Another stunning run of photos from the mysterious POL magazine.  I didn't scan the cover in, as it is slightly ripped on the corner, but I can say that it does feature Isabelle Adjani.  The photos here as per the blurb on the first shot is from a book entitled Fashion 2001 by Lucille Khornak which I would seriously wish to own as I adore futurist fashion visions.  The fourth shot from the top is from Sonia Rykiel (whose clothes I adore but sadly cannot afford) and the fabulous roller skate one underneath that is Jean-Claude De Luca and when searching his name in google I actually found some more scans from the actual book! (WOW) I want it even more now.  Ahhh!!

Prue Acton for SAAB 900 Turbo - Vogue magazine October 1979

Photography Claude Mougin

I recently acquired a bunch of Vogue magazines, so thought I'd add a post here from one of the issues.  I simply adore a futurist themed shoot back when it was thought the future would be cool (it's more boring now than back then I think!).  This Prue Acton for SAAB shoot reminds me a lot of one of the pictures from this Sheila magazine issue from 1980.  It's funny how dated the car looks next to the 'futuristic' wares.

Well here's the first post from my vintage magazine collection, and it's a stunner.  It's the first issue of Sheila Magazine - a high fashion publication which I think unfortunately was rather short-lived. Clearly this issue lives and breathes a sense of excitement and anticipation for the decade to come.

A definite space-age theme permeates throughout, and I adore this little tidbit from Dior outlining The Face of the 80's.
