Should A Proper Young Woman Of Impeccable Upbringing Wear An Ankle Bracelet?

Should a proper young woman of impeccable upbringing wear an ankle bracelet....

Shatter the cliche that only ladies of dubious reputation wear ankle bracelets. Erase the image of intertwined hearts worn with bobbysocks and loafers.With mini skirts baring lots of leg, midi skirts taking the Edwardian view of the ankle, anklets couldn't be more timely. Lynn wears six. More timid girls need wear but one at a time. The first five dainty ankle bracelets (left to right) are from Kim Craftsman, the sixth blue enamel one is by Bagatelles. Sold at Henri Bendel, N.Y.C. 10. These were made just for eye.

Belt On - Pull In - Curve Out: Illustrations by Antonio 1967

I've previously posted some examples of these illustrations by Antonio Lopez here on the Sweet Jane blog, which I had scanned from a book called Lifestyle Illustration of the 60s. However, since then I have acquired a copy of the very first issue of Intro magazine which is where they were originally published in september 1967. I had been searching for this particular issue for a long time, there just doesn't seem to be that many of them in circulation, which is not too surprising really because it is 46 years old this month afterall!  But, I have to say it was worth the wait and every penny that it cost to finally see Antonio's work as it was intended to be seen. The illustrations are absolutely amazing!  They're spread over three double pages measuring 22"x 17½" each...now I want you to take a moment to think about those dimensions, we're talking 'poster size' here! Infact, I think I will get some professional copies made and have them framed eventually, because as much as I admire fashion photography 'fashion illustration' has always been my first love and these images are such superb examples of a time when illustration was definitely still in it's glory days before photography surpassed it and became the more widely used medium of the two. I photographed the images because they were far too big to fit onto my usually trustworthy flatbed scanner and although I've done my best it was impossible to truly do them justice under the circumstances, in reality they are far more vibrant, but if you click on each individual image you will at least be able to view a larger version of the work. Alternatively, if you happen to live in the London area or have plans to visit the city sometime over the next two months, you may perhaps be lucky enough to view the real thing thanks to designer Roland Mouret (also a long time admirer of Antonio's work) who, in conjunction with East of Mayfair will be hosting a special selling exhibition including previously unseen works by the legendary fashion illustrator in celebration of what would have been his 70th birth year. The exhibition which opens today, takes place at the Roland Mouret concept store house, 8 Carlos Place, London W.1. and runs through to the 20th of october 2013. The celebration doesn't end there, M.A.C have also recently launched a limited edition range of cosmetics this month which are inspired by Lopez. You can view the range and a video clip of the artist at work here.




                                             BELT ON - PULL IN - CURVE OUT
Belting into fashion - the cinched in waist. You've been waiting for this since skinny sweaters stretched to dresses and tenty shapes narrowed to the body. Big, beautiful belts, buckled or buttoned, clinch the move to femininity with the greatest look to arrive since the birth of the mini skirt.

Suede gloves, 42s. 6d., Kir waist-cinched - military coat, with stiff necked collar; tunic pockets. Silver buttons trim fold of back pleat. Three shades of brown, 13½ gns., 35-38 length.

Before the sunshine goes and the annual dragging out of last year's woolies starts, RAVE takes a long lingering look at some of the scene-stealing fashions that the summer of 68 will be remembered for. Basically, there were three distinct styles: Long, cool and very feminine were the crêpes and laces reminiscent of something Auntie used to wear. Tight bodiced, colourful and wild were the gypsy looks that even endeared an off-the-peg outfit to second-hand dressed Julie Driscoll! Fringed and casual, heads banded in scarves and suede bands were the Indian scout looks which also invaded our streets.



Red, yellow and black flamenco dress £3 19s. 6d. by Biba, 19-21 Kensington Church Street, London W.8. Catalogue available. Large hooped dangling earrings by Corocraft, 15s. 6d.




Black crêpe dress with white frilled sleeves, a Young Junior at Blanes, 6 gns. Coin necklace by Paul Stephens, 19s 6d. Ballet shoes by Dolcis, 29s. 11d. Small hooped earrings by Paul Stephens, 7s. 11d.




Dicel lipstick-patterned trousers by Ayton and Rhodes 9gns. at Fulham Road Clothes Shop, 160, Fulham Road, London S.W.10. Tricel crêpe blouse in white by Celia Mortimer, 3 gns. Red, real snakeskin waistcoat by Ossie Clark, 6gns.




White crêpe culotte suit by Art Galore, £6 12s 6d. Soft straw hat at Biba 35s. Long satin scarf tied round hat at Biba, 1 gn. Gilt bangles by Corocraft 25s. each.




White crêpe dress with fringed bodice by Susan Barry, £5 9s. 6d. High boots called 'Lancer' by Norvic, 7 gns. Apache feathered hat by I Was Lord Kitchener's Thing, 59s. 6d. Bead bracelet by Paul Stephens, 14s. 6d.

Antony Little: Beardsley, Biba and Beyond

I've admired the work of artist and interior designer Antony Little for a long time, from the beautiful window design and fin de siècle style backdrop that he created for Michael Rainey's 'Hung On You' boutique in Cale St to the first iconic black & gold Biba logo which he designed for the Kensington Church Street shop in 1966 and beyond. So you can probably imagine how pleased I was when I recently received an email from the man himself, following his discovery of an article which I had posted about him here on the Sweet Jane blog earlier this year! I had always wanted to see more of his work and to my delight along with the email he had also forwarded some scans of his illustrations for Guillaume Apollinaire's 'The Wandering Jew and Other Stories' originally published by Rupert Hart Davis in 1967. They are quite beautiful and superb examples of the resurged interest in the Art Nouveau movement which was so prevalent throughout the applied arts in London at this point in time as a result of a major retrospective exhibition featuring the work of Aubrey Beardsley at the Victoria & Albert Museum the previous year. Antony has very kindly given me permission to share the images and you can also view an *updated version of my original post about the work of Antony Little here.

Some more examples of the 'temporary tattoos' created by Societe Domain in 1967 which I picked up during the summer. It's difficult to tell exactly how they would look when used because the scans are on the reverse but I really like the Military Medal, the classic 'Pointing Hand' and pretty much all of them from the final scan. A brief history about the origins of the temporary tattoo can be found on the excellent Tattoo Archive website here and my previous post featuring another set of the tattoos in this series by Societe Demain can be found here.

The problem is to stay smartly unruffled with the top off. A man can wear anything with his wardrobe of convertible cars except very long hair or a kilt. Girls, though they're less likely to own flashy cars, soon get to know all about them. So they wear trousers, culottes or shorts and protect their hair with jazzy scarves and hats, to catch the eye of bird-and car-fancier alike.

Long, lurex scarf with tasselled fringe is splendid draught excluder, 4gns., from Liberty, Regent Street W1. Silver shoes, £6 16s. 6d., from Elliotts, 76 New Bond Street, W1 and branches.

Gebrauchsgraphik 1971: The Illustrations of Beate Broemse

This cover is one of my personal favourites from my collection of Gebrauchsgraphik International Advertising Art magazines. Originally designed by Beate Broemse, an instructor at the Famous Artists School in Munich in 1970 as an entry in a poster design contest organised by the Cinema International Corporation to promote the release of the American feature film Medium Cool, in which author and director Haskell Wexler presented his first study of the growing spread of violence in the USA and the responsibility of the individual for the development of society as a whole. However, although it made the cover of this issue of Gebrauchsgraphik it didn't actually win the competition but it did take second prize to the overall winning design by Carl Steiner, the director of the FAS school. The school itself originated in the USA in 1948, where a number of well-known and successful graphic designers developed a teaching method permitting them to pass on their artistic experience via a correspondence course. And for that purpose they founded in an old mill in Westport, Connecticut near New York the Famous Artists School and eventually went on to open centers worldwide. The teaching program, which still runs today comprised of subjects such as industrial art, illustration, fashion design, painting, photography and the art of writing. The carefully selected teaching staff consisting of professionals with a talent for teaching rather than merely professional instructors, as the schools criteria expects it's staff to be in constant contact with current industry practices.
