Due to the popularity of the first post I did with a selection of Esprit advertisements from the 80's, I thought it was time to put some more up.  As I was a huge Esprit fan in the early 90's, the brand does hold some great memories for me.  My favourites from these pictures are the first one and probably the last one.  In the last post I was going on about the iconic Esprit tote bag (which I was proud to carry around when I was in Year 7), and alas I still don't have one!  Hmm.... may have to check ebay....

Scrambled - Dolly magazine August 1985

A different kind of editorial for Dolly..... it kind of reminds me more of something you'd see in 'The Face' magazine as opposed to a teen Australian magazine.  I am very curious as to who this 'Aaren' is who styled both the cover and this shoot, and alas I could not find any information on him/her at all.  Not too sure whether I would personally wear a jumper as pants, but I can see where they were going with it and for the shoot it looks great.  I adore the hair and make-up particularly in this - the yellow eyeshadow/pink eyeliner combo really works.

Swatch Advertisement 1985

Appeared in Dolly Magazine August 1985

My all time favourite ad from Swatch - ever (and that includes all those amazing Pop Swatch ads, which I'll do a feature on at some point down the track).  This particular advertisement re-appears in many magazine issues that I have and is just so bubblegum pastel pop!  If you didn't have a Swatch you definitely weren't cool...

Myer & Grace Bros Advertisements

Dolly Magazine April 1988

I'm trying to keep up with the regular posts, so here's a new one featuring a range of Myer/Gras Bros. advertisements from a few Dollys.  I have a soft spot for the polka dot items, as well as the 'That's Cute' sleepwear underneath featuring Alison Brahe in it.

It's also funny to see how the '88 look of brogues and loafers is kinda big right now.
