At Home At Ease - Vogue Australia April 1983

Time to switch to 1983!  This spread is full of texture, winter woollens, cowl necks and of course Issey Miyake!  Simply stunning photography by Patrick Russell, and I managed to find a very interesting article on Mr Russell's wide ranging influence that went far beyond the pages of Vogue here!

Sublime Soirées - Vogue Australia April 1979

A very New Romantic glamorous adventure features in this aptly titled Sublime Soirées Vogue editorial from 1979.  Photographed at the piano bar of the Wentworth Hotel in Sydney, the spread is lush with brocade velvets, silks, satins and opulence in general.  I love it!

Here's a bit of a cross-section of the various looks featured in this 1982 issue of Vogue.  And I've said it before and I'll say it again - I LOVE 1982!  The looks here evoke innocence amplified by sailor collars, puffed sleeves and gorgeous tailoring.

I've put a few posts featuring Prue Acton designs lately, and here's another to add to the pile.  I adore this chic late 70's look here, where you can see hints of the 80's look in many elements.

Lancome/Sportsgirl/David Lawrence - Vogue Australia November 1980

I find this spread really intriguing as I never knew Lancome was sold at Sportsgirl (and not to mention Sportsgirl had a Beauty Shop)!  I'd love to hear from anyone who can remember.  I notice accessories here are from Sportsgirl, and I'm sure I've seen the rosette earrings there lately - at least some things never change.
