| Nifty-the original advertisements…this one from Vogue (MAY 1967) |
Timeless chic is a cliché-but a meaningful one-and a reason the 60's-70's keeps inspiring today's fashion/accessories collections-as do the style icons of that era-Jackie O, Babe Paley, Pat Cleveland, Pamela Grier, Jane Birkin, Tabitha Getty, Charlotte Rampling---who
did it all without hired stylists.
IMO-the test-looking at an archival image and NEVER HAVING TO THINK
what the heck was she thinking.'
