October 1974 Vogue, sequinned peasant dresses

Shine On – Vogue 1974

January 12, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

I found this gorgeous copy of October 1974 Vogue at a vintage fair this weekend – with sequinned peasant-esque dresses, it’s not difficult to see where inspiration for SS15 came from?

The Tale of Talitha

May 4, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

Love this photo shoot by Tom Craig for Porter Magazine. Very reminiscent of the photographs Patrick Lichfield took of Talitha Getty, the queen of Marrakesh kool in the early 70s: It was here where he [Yves Saint Laurent] met one of his muses, the ill-fated and impossibly beautiful Talitha Getty (supposedly the only woman Rudolf Nureyev was ever attracted to). Her opulent Moroccan palace, which she shared with her oil heir husband was the setting for some of the decade’s most […]

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Ian Berry, London 1970

Birkin by Berry

July 4, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I was on the Yoox site, looking for a jacket (nothing new there!), and I came across this gorgeous framed print for sale, of Jane Birkin by Ian Berry. Clearly I couldn’t leave it at that, so I had to take a peak at the rest of this intimate collection. Taken in London 1970, it features a very natural Serge and Jane, with her daughter Kate Barry. They look like any other couple wandering the streets in the 1970’s. Only […]

George Hurrell, Jane Russell

George Hurrell – Shadowcaster

June 3, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

“A Hurrell portrait is to the ordinary publicity stills what a Rolls-Royce is to a roller-skate”.          This is how George Hurrell, MGM’s main man, was described in Esquire magazine in 1936. Marlene Dietrich Veronica Lake George swept into town with the intention of becoming a painter, only once he started photographing heiresses, with his signature dramatic spotlight, creating sculptured cheekbones and glowing skin, he never looked back. Carole Lombard By 1929 he had a contract with […]

Why Don’t You….watch “The Eye Has to Travel”

February 15, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I watched the documentary Diana Vreeland – The Eye Has To Travel over the weekend and it is an absolute must-see. I was totally transfixed from beginning to end. “I was the most hideous thing in the world”, Diana Vreeland told an interviewer in 1977 and perhaps because of this, she became the champion of the eclectic woman and the unconventional beauties of the world. I won’t spoil her story here, you must definitely watch the film, but she was well […]

Decades of Desire

December 28, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I now know the best way to get the presents you desire and that’s to write a post about them. Oh yes, some of those lovely 10 Best Books found their way into my stocking this year and I am one happy gal! Now I’m not favouring one present over another, but I have to say Decades by Cameron Silver, which my cousin’s in law gave me, had me, (rather unfortunately for my family), totally mesmerised on Boxing Day. The […]

Emmanuelle: Marilyn or Blondie?

September 20, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I remember going to see a french film in my first year at university with my new roomate. Neither of us could speak french but she told me she wanted to see it because her brother thought the french actress in it was the most beautiful woman in the world. Well, if she was that beautiful I wanted to see her too. Eighteen years on I still think this french actress is the most beautiful woman in the world. Emmanuelle […]
