Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley of the Human League. I referenced Sulley in my overall look last week.
A shot from The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film.
One of my favorite design teams, Viktor & Rolf, shot by Amsterdam-based portraitists Anuschka Blommers and Niels Schumm. This was a great pairing because both Viktor & Rolf and Blommers & Schumm do really entertaining and clever work.

George Méliès, 20,000 Lieues Sous les Mers (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), 1906.
(available to view on YouTube).
George Méliès was a fascinating experimental filmmaker, active during the turn of the 20th century. He was referred to as a "Cinemagician" due to his pioneering special effects. Most of his 500+ films were destroyed and recycled during World War 1, as they weren't particularly valued at the time.

Yves St. Laurent by Roxanne Lowit, 1983
Artinfo has an interesting and extensive article about this piece that Andy Warhol did for an exhibition celebrating Leo Castelli Gallery's 10-year anniversary in 1967.
They are portraits of the rest of the artists who were also in the exhibition, silk screened on plastic boxes. There were 225 made, all with different configurations of the boxes.
This is from a New York Times article in 1981, around the time of the Clash's residency at Bond's.
Locks in an upstate NY antique shop by Mimi Jung, of the blog Brook&Lyn. I really enjoy her blog and her style.
Another negative-space illustration by Coles Philips, probably adapted to a Life magazine cover. Such an interesting style, especially for the time period in which they were done (the 1910's).

Cher at the 1978 Yves St. Laurent's Opium launch party, held on a yacht in the South Street seaport, New York.
A shot from Brian Duffy's 1973 Pirelli calendar.
Bianca Jagger, Andy Warhol, and Jerry Hall at Studio 54. Not sure who the other woman is. Late 70's. I think the dude in the background may be Fred Hughes, Warhol's business manager.
Anyway, what's the deal with Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall hanging out?
Charlotte Rampling. I'm usually not a big fan of one-shouldered dresses, but this fabric is really beautiful.

From a story about Ibiza in the Face, probably from 1988.

Betty Catroux, model and muse to Yves St. Laurent in the 70's. A shame this photo is not larger.
The Sound, Thunder Up, 1987.
This was their final album. I will have to track it down.
A peculiar shot. What are they trying to show us?
Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker for a Life Magazine spread, 1968.

Lauren Hutton by Richard Avedon for US Vogue, June 1968. Super cute swimsuit. I especially like the bra top. Also, that seems like an excessive amount of hair.
A still from 1976's "Alice Sweet Alice"
See more at the awesome movie-stills site, I Love Hot Dogs.
One funny thing about this movie, is that the little girl, played by Paula E. Sheppard ended up playing Adrian in "Liquid Sky." They were her only 2 movies!
Chrissy recognized her (even though she was a kid) since we had seen Liquid Sky only a couple of days before.
A bathroom in Polly Mellen's Connecticut home, by Eric Boman for US Vogue, April 2009. I "LOVE" those YSL posters!
Photo by Jenny Murray. More here.
Bryan Ferry. Smooth.
Yves Saint Laurent, Fall 2008
More from the Fall 2008 YSL show. Sorry to show this again, but I like it too much. The black lipgloss!
Miscellaneous
I am super into the look of the YSL Fall 2008 collection. The black lipgloss was limited edition and it's not available anymore.
I bet Frank has this video. The guy in the top right corner is wearing a Delicious Vinyl t-shirt.
Ruth St. Denis was an early modern dance pioneer. She established the one of the first university dance programs in the US at Adelphi University and taught Martha Graham.
This photo was taken for "The Legend of the Peacock" which is one of her early solos.
Read more about her here.
So, I am not terribly into Madonna during this phase (you know I favor the early days...) – so let's just forget this is her and just marvel at this beautiful dress. It's Olivier Theyskens, and worn to the 1998 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards.
He was the artistic director at Nina Ricci when they showed those unbelievable shoes for Fall 2009.
