Let's Vogue!

Let\'s Vogue!

Well, it's a grey, wet afternoon and so I thought I'd trawl through some of my 80's Vogue collection for a bit of a cheery-up.

These images really took my eye. Taken from British Vogue March 1986, I hope they brighten your day a little too. If you look closely, you'll see a very young Uma Thurman posing for Chanel. :) Hard to believe these photos were taken 24 years ago!!! Yikes! I think I'm warming to the eighties at last! I've written notes underneath.

Love the Chanel shirt-dress too. It's great how they've used the white with black detailing rather than the other way around. I love Uma in her Chanel suit too. :)
 
Thanks for looking Karin. I actually remember the photo of the red riding habit from back in the eighties. It must have left an impression on me. Was it so long ago? Ugh! :)
 
What fun! I love the red Hermes riding habit the best, I reckon :)

Those scrolly leather sleeves/gloves/bolero thingie are/is quite something too!
