fashion flashback _ rifat ozbek

i kinda really liked rifat ozbek back then in the early nineties.

i really can't tell or remember why.

i guess he made once that fashion show with

all-white clothes and silver sequined fanny-packs.

and a black model carrying a beautiful black baby.

hope i'm not mistaken here

(and i hope it was not dolce e gabbana).

i still remember the baby's face. :)

back then it was still okay to carry little babies

on the runway. so many did. or is it still so?

anyways, these lovely ads are from a bit earlier,

from 1987 or '88. naomi was shot by

steven meisel.

i don't know the time rifat ozbek (or, actually özbek,

the turkish language has a lot of ös) gave up his

own label, but later he went on to design clothes for pollini,

and now he apparently make these pillows.

pics via resurrectionvintage and googled.

if you also liked the '80s and '90s, do check out

this awesome coat by romeo gigli, too.

i like the idea _ contrast piping

contrast piping can be so nice when done right.

i like the delicacy and restraint of these ones.

a paszpólozás nagyon szép is tud lenni, ha jól csinálja az ember.

ezek azért tetszenek, mert nagyon finomak, visszafogottak,

mintha csak rajzolva lennének.

linkek fönt.

tuesday's child, part one

as i told you here, i scanned one of my (many) favorite editorials.

meisel editorials can sometimes span up to sixty pages,

but this one is only 22. still i'm giving it to you in portions,

mostly because i'm quite slow with retouching.

so this is part one.

i hope you like it.

no, they don't kern.

love the peter pan collar, too.
