you have just made my day!! cracked me up plus stylish post – well done!!
haha love anna wintour, i get the whole pissed off look, its a vibe she gives off like dont talk to me dont look at me dont breathe in my direction unless i know you or you have something SUPER important to say. i like it.
What a great fun post! The woman in the first photo (from 72 YEARS ago) with sequins/leopard clutch is SO current today!! I also found it very interesting that people in the front row have been wearing sunglasses ‘from the beginning of time’ – who would have thunk? Lastly, its ironic that those 4 chicks at Burberry 2012 are wearing (what looks like) the SAME pants LOL.
I am loving Barbra Streisand in that leopard hat and tails get up! Amazing!
this is fabulous. anna in 1990…..OMG it kills me haha. if only she would’ve gotten into grunge….
SO fun!!! I loved going through these. Love the vintage ones.
I LOVE the first image. Sequin striped sweater with leopard clutch. Yum.
Good one!
