Legendary photographers, David Bailey and Lord Lichfield along with top model of the time, Penelope Tree, attended a fashion week event (Mare Moda) that took place in Capri, an Italian island. The year was September 1968 and while the likes of Tony Curtis and Faye Dunaway frolicked along the riviera, they got an early glimpse at fashion designers' upcoming collection.
Both photographers are responsible for changing the face of fashion, portraiture, and celebrity photography during the 1960's.

In the photo opt above, you can tell the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as both titans in their professional field gave a proper lesson on how to strut your threads even when in the middle of a top model.

Serge Gainsbourg And Jane Birkin Travel The Streets Of Tokyo!


Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin traveled through the streets of Tokyo during a trip in 1971 wearing what in my book I consider to be a perfect blue dream. A perfect option for these last days of Summer and the first days of Fall. The knee-high boots and unbuttoned smart shirt give a causal yet modern elegance. Perfect for almost any season, especially for this fall.

Warren Beatty 'Checkmates' All Fashion Contenders With This Suit!


Warren Beatty 'checkmates' all fashion contenders during the late 1960's with this impeccable checkered suit. The exact year was 1968 and Warren was everywhere at the time because of the success of "Bonnie and Clyde", a film which co-starred the equally breathtaking and striking Faye Dunaway.

The checkered suit parred along with a black turtleneck is right up my alley kiddas. Having worn on multiple occasions such similar looks, just substituting the checks with maybe a plaid or houndstooth textile finish. Haper's Bazaar magazine released this issue on February of 1968 and you can get bet your petticoat bottom it was smashing edition.

The open shirt with a loose scarf would make a perfect match for a Sunday brunch with a mimosa in hand.

This film is a love story, a pure love story complete with a twelve year period covering the relationship between Joanna and Mark Wallace, acted by the brilliant Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. The 1967 film "Two For The Road" also stars William Daniels and Jacqueline Bisset.

Peter Sellers & Britt Ekland Were A Sweet Pair In The 1960's



Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland were a darling pair back in the mid 20th century. In the photo opt above, they gave a brilliant showcase on how to wear white without it looking to drab during thee appropriate S/S seasons. When your white top or trousers are clean and crisp looking, than there's no need to worry about the rest of your ensemble looking washed out. It's the contrast between Peter and his than Beau which demonstrate how something so simple as your choice in fabric, can alter each other's same color palette in garment to another level.
