Marissa Explains It All: Blast from the past

Recently I've been inspired by vintage fashion and icons, well not recently... I'm always inspired by vintage anything. It's been even more this week because my art history teacher was talking about analyzing a picture or work of art and being able to tell when it was made or taken by symbols, clothing etc. She used a picture of Jackie O. (Kennedy) as an example. This reminded me of how much I love her, so I had to show you some of my favorite pictures and more things inspired by vintage and her.

I also found an editorial a couple of weeks ago that I thought I'd never post about but it's pretty vintage inspired and looks like Jackie O's style with a modern twist, so now I feel the urge to show you that as well. It's called Cote d'Allure from the January 2010 Vogue Germany, with Madisyn Ritland.

To see the whole editorial and details visit The Fashion Time Magazine

ANNND I also stumbled upon Julia Bereciartu's collage work, and I absolutely love it. Thank you Lauren from Lofting Odysseys for sharing! There is even some with Jackie O <3

I hope you enjoyed all my new favorite vintage inspirations!

Back with an outfit post probably tomorrow

Charmalade said...: The always classy Jackie O, I love her sensible take on 60s fashion. I really admire the cut of her dresses and coats...

Vintage inspiration-- especially from the 60s!-- is exciting. Lovely!
