The Eighties I Know and Love

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this post under the influence. I had two and ONLY TWO ciders. I really can't hold my liquor...

It's the year 2000 and I'm going through my mom's old fashion magazines: French Elle, German magazine Burda and a Brazilian classic, Carícia. I've read them over and over again, amazed by the fact that they were made before I was even born. But the older I got the less interested I was in that and the more fascinated I got by the fashion historic value of those pieces of paper. It was the beginning of the new millennium and I suddenly went back in time and realized I loved 80s' fashion. The obvious problem was the 80s weren't cool yet. They were a decade of fashion experiments gone wrong. A collection of embarrassing hair styles and the correspondent embarrassing photos. But fast-forward 13 years and here we are: wet hair, sporty clothes in neon colors, tribal influences and metallics. And these are the 80s I know and love. Not just shoulder pads and hair spray. But the 80s that had color and smelled of exotic beaches. Even if no one else can see it, this is the 80s! My 80s! My mom's 80s! It's the 80s of the first fashion magazines I've ever read (even before I could read). I know they might go again soon, but for now, I'll just enjoy them while they last!

 Constance Jablonski by Hans Feurer for Vogue Japan Beauty, July 2012

Hi everyone! Let's start the day with something pretty, shall we?

As you know I'm crazy about anything 80's. Anything slightly reminiscent of my mom's fashion magazines and of her own style, of course, so I completely fell in love with this Vogue Japan beauty editorial. It picked up that soft colonial adventurous feel that I find so characteristic of the 80's. A mix of Meryl Streep in "Out of Africa" (1985) and Kathleen Turner in "Romancing the Stone" (1984). It really doesn't get much better than this for me.

Hoe about you? Do you like this kind of editorial? Let me know!

 Olá! Vamos começar o dia com uma coisa bonita, está bem?

Como sabem sou louca por tudo 80's. Tudo o que seja minimamente reminiscente das revistas de moda da minha mãe e do seu próprio estilo, claro. Por isso, não é surpresa que me tenha apaixonado completamente por este esditorial da Vogue Japan Beauty, que captou na perfeição, aquela vibe colonial e aventureira, tão caracteristica desses tempos. Um mistura entre a Meryl Streep no "África Minha" (1985) e a Kathleen Turner em "Tudo Por Uma Esmeralda" (1984).  Para mim, não há muito que consiga superar isto.

E vocês, gostam deste tipo de editorial? Quero saber a vossa opinião!
