Miscellaneous: How Random Can I Get?

What a fun poster! Brooke Shields by Richard Avedon and Keith Haring, 1985

The Go-Go's

You may recognize the style of these Richard Bernstein illustrations from the covers of 1980's-era Interview Magazine, because he was the one who did them. When I was a kid back at the end of that decade, my subscription started with his illustrations, but soon moved on to a Stephen Meisel photographic approach. (My Aunt Val always provided me with some pretty awesome subscriptions)

Angela Lindvall in Prada, Fall 1999.

You see those boots she is wearing? I have those. I wish you could see the details, because they're kind of crazy: they are forest green with brown and aqua patent leather leaves and acorns all over them. They were my pride and joy for some time.

I haven't worn them in years because the heel has an early 2000's geometric shape to it, and I'm not feeling that style quite yet.

Miscellaneous: Really Random

A still from Eyes of Laura Mars, starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones. As it's about a fashion photographer in the 70's, it's filled with fantastic ensembles.

Packaging for Fogal pantyhose. I like everything here: color palette, typography (the secondary type is not the best though), and the logo for Fogal.

I used my phone to take photo of this ad for Maui and Sons that was in a 1987 issue of Interview magazine. I couldn't steal/buy the magazine, so there was no opportunity for scanning. I wish the photo looked clearer. I optimized it as best I could.

Anyway, I have a special thing for late-80's surfing/skating brands, and I am loving the geometric shapes and neon-pastels they're using.

Memphis-style tea pots

Magic poster for Lee, a phone hypnotist, from 1898. Here is the only info I could find on him.

Photo

Photo is a French photography magazine, focused mainly on the creative (rather than technical) aspect of photographs; mostly with a fashion objective. It's quite sexy, and seems a little more like high-end pornography. It's been around since the 70's.
