Quote of the day
“I always have it in my head that if your name is in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it’s your news and they’re taking it and selling it as their product.”

J’adore, j’adore
J’adore these illustrations by Tanya Ling for 8A magazine.
It’s pictures like these that made me want to be a fashion illustrator back in the day. These pics are from Lulu Kennedy’s blog. Now, the question is, what is 8A magazine?
UPDATE: Ah, this is 8A magazine

On retro fashion and rave tunes
I went to this pop-up shop at the Wonder Room in Selfridges yesterday. The presentation was a bit sterile (you should’ve asked me to make a moodboard wall for you Selfridges!) but I did enjoy looking at the vintage magazines and a particularly nostalgia-inducing stripy Westwood suit from Rellik. The plaid and denim shirts from Beyond Retro ticked the grunge box but weren’t anything special. More my bag was a Hacienda Classics CD set, which made me go all tingly-spined and misty-eyed thinking of this. I may have to go back and buy it.

from the vaults: Milla Jovovich
Milla Jovovich by Bob Richardson (father of Terry). This is from a whole set of tear sheets I have kept from various magazines and ad campaigns from the 1990s. Bob Richardson shot campaigns for the Italian brand, Alberto Biani and around the same time shot some similar pictures for Italian Vogue using Milla and Kirsten Owen. The brand’s focus was on androgynous tailoring and almost every picture featured Milla or Kirsten in a hands-deep-in-pockets slouch. Timeless and beautiful.
