What is it about Alexa Chung? Everyone raves about her style . She often makes the best dressed list. I am not so sure….. here is a look at this kooky, geeky, style. For example this look is overcooked a ruffle souffle.
Then we have overblown flowers , spots and a colour that drains her, a length that makes her look even shorter……
Now we have not so much 40′s chic as Granny Chung’s hand me down’s.
The twee shoes, ragdoll bandy legs, a decorator’s shirt that is at least 3 sizes too big does not add up to chic for me.
Ankle socks with ballet flats, messy outfit adds up to sero sex appeal. I just don’t get it. I am missing something here.
No- one would miss this flower decoration over 3/4 of her chest. Overblown again.
I normally understand and can appreciate style icons with many contrasting styles. I just do not like the little girl/boy twee bow in hair, and on on dress, ankle socks, peter pan collar, knock kneed look, I like women to look like women.
I love this style…. John French was an iconic Fashion Photographer in the 1950′s and 1960′s. London based he photographed the most famous people of the time. His stunning images appeared in virtually every newspaper and magazine. A Society photographer many of his subjects were famous debutants, using assistants such as David Bailey and Terence Donovan he quickly became the IT photographer of the time.
Daphne Guiness
What makes someone stylish?? Here is a style lesson, attention to detail. Daphne Guiness has a beautiful hat, the lace framing her face. The silver brooch adding feminity and a gorgeous white jacket. Very feminine, very beautiful.
I think the grey ribbon is too fussy and should be left on the cake box!!
I was enchanted by the exquisitely beautiful Tibetan people in gorgeous richly coloured silks beside me.
I was at Doon School in the Himalalyas watching the Dalai Lama, at the 25 years celebration of batch of 1986. He spoke of the need to integrate religion, a policy of global non violence and love from the family. Very very spiritual, I was honoured and priveleged to hear him. Around 300 Tibetans and 500+ Doon Old School Boys listened enraptured as he spoke. Around me the children played in fuschia pinks, emerald green silks. The Tibetans had proud bearing and noble faces. China needs to leave them alone.
Excuse me what does this have to do with fashion??
This has to be the most bizarre fashion shoot ever??
This has to be some of the worst fashion photography ever. Is’nt modelling supposed to be fun??
Most of the stars in this wonderful exhibition of Hollywood portraits look just as stylish in 2011 as they did at the time. There are pictures of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe wearing Brigitte Bardot-style capri pants: they could walk down the street in those today. And 1940s fashion, of which we see a lot in this show, is very in for autumn/winter this year. Look at the current edition of Vogue, and you’ll see Kate Moss on the cover, wearing a 1940s-style outfit and looking just as stunning as any of these stars.
One of my favourite looks comes in a portrait of the silent-movie actor Louise Brooks, from the 1920s. She has a shiny black helmet of hair, a black dress, and a long string of white pearls. Everything about that look works: the monochrome colours, the simplicity.
Then take someone like Marlene Dietrich: in one picture, we see her in a black suit, with her incredible high cheekbones. She did her own thing – she dressed like a man at a time when fashion was very prescriptive. That, for me, is the essence of style.
The men look pretty good here, too. Cary Grant is smooth and gentlemanlike in a suit. Then there’s the famous portrait of Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire: the tight white T-shirt, the jeans. Wow – he looks just as sexy as he did at the time; you really wouldn’t say no.
Some of today’s fashion photography comes close to achieving the stylised glamour of these portraits, but when it comes to pictures of movie stars, we just don’t quite have anything like it any more. Everything – the lighting; the fashion; the makeup – is about creating an image imbued with glamour and mystique. Today, we tend to see our stars snapped in their Ugg boots on the way to the supermarket.
