sometimes, everyone wants to be a girl

christian dior’s haute couture spring-summer 2012.

this is one of those times. does remind me of I&V YSL film, but this is no film. men’s shows can be quite boring sometimes, but not women’s. and not this one. where is m. john charles galliano? still paying back?  p.s. thanx pp… now who is the grouchy guy in the video? is that ezra on weight loss? anyhow, it’s still quite amazing… by dd

KIMBERLY®

i wish i could find out something about this kimberly brand. nada. the only thing i know is that they were one of the many advertisers (especially compared to today) during the 60’s-70’s using illustration. but wait, isn’t that jean shrimpton in the middle? maybe that unsuspecting shoot by david bailey helped establish this new grammar of seeing, and eased a little more creative storytelling in the more personally identifiable and coy medium of photography that we all love so much.  by kl
