The book that got me hooked on vintage clothing:

I don't know this seller, but this is a great deal on an incredible book! I bought this book back in the 70s, and I still have it. It is an incredible reference for 70s fashion, but it also is about the vintage scene in the late 70s.

It has some great interviews - Betsey Johnson, Donna Karan (who was still at Anne Klein at the time) Diane Vreeland, Holly Harp and more!

If it will help someone, I have a good scanner and can scan some pictures.

Lizzie, which are your favorites?

 

[fuzzylizzie]

The interview with Betsey is cute and whimsical, abd I'm looking just now and there is also a great section on Zandra Rhodes, and one on YSL.

And Geraldine Stutz, the legendary president of Henri Bendel.

So now I'll spend the pm rereading my favorite bits!

I would love some history on HB!

Are there any color photos or are they all black and white?

 

[fuzzylizzie]

All B&W.

That is one vintage book I don't have (and I love reading new ones). Will have to keep my eyes open for a copy of it.

Snappy purchase Linda!

I don't have that one either, but on Lizzie's recommendation that'll be remedied in short order

Good going Linda!
