Greek Goddess - Dolly October 1990

I don't think I've scanned in this cover before, and it is far too cute to leave unseen!  I quite like this lurex and lamé themed spread set in picturesque Greece.  Styled by Carlotta Moye and with photography by Michael Schenko, some of the outfits kinda remind me of Prince - and that's a good thing!

Bustin' Out - Dolly October 1990

The bustier was definitely an early 90's must-have item of clothing.  It reminds me of watching Video Hits in the morning which was full of clips by Toni Pearan and Melissa Tkautz.  This spread features two Alison models - Alison Brahe and Alison Jones, a Greek local boy and of course the star of the shots - the donkey!  So cute!

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.

A Short Sequins - Dolly November 1985

I don't always like the Fashion Workshop features that Dolly did - but this one is pretty cool.  The styling in this one reminds me of the Take a Walk (... on the wild side) looks in terms of the make-up and slightly rock-edge it takes.  I am adoring the lurex socks in the last image together with the Madonna style crucifix dangling from the ear.  Photography in this is by Andrew Southam and hair and  make up by Aaren - who did the styling in this Scrambled fashion spread.  I like the style of whoever this Aaren person is!  Oh and I must mention the heart shaped sunglasses are from Granny May's.  I am still so upset to this day that the stores are no longer - I adored the stationary and cool stickers from that store *sob*.

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).

'It's our party and we'll rage if we want to' feature on Dolly staff members
Photography Michael Schenko

This issue I definitely remember having at the time - featuring the all time fave covergirls!  Within the magazine, it was interesting to read of Sarah Nursey having spent three years living in an Israeli Kibbutz after finishing school!

I chose this fashion spread because I really love the heavy focus on lurex and sequins - oh and that vintage green dress on Anna-Louise is simply gorgeous!

The final image is for Roxan who left a comment on here the other day - I love that you're here posing with Bruce Samazan during his E-Street days.  I adored him back when!  I love the outfits too - the early 90's was still quite interesting for fashion I feel - am seriously wanting that Saba anorak Aileen is sporting.
