Nani, I'm so glad you've returned to the vigorous blogging I crave from you. I need your aesthetic notions! Don't stop!

cassington's (i think i got that nickname from you) encouragement is to blame!

You're talking about US Vogue right? Because I think Italian and French Vogues are doing quite well with artistic direction. Although sometimes consistently ok...but not as forward as other British fashion magazines.

yeah, i think US vogue offers nothing beyond commercial interests, but on occasion italian and french vogue have interesting things. i think there are probably 10 magazines that have something spectacular here and there, mostly non-vogue.

Wow this photo is amazing. Do you know what designers she's wearing? It's really amazing how forward-thinking they were, I could see that walking in a couture show today!

jen: i totally agree with you! unfortunately i don't know who the designers were, though that kind of pleating on the blouse i feel like i see often in vintage shops.
