JAP and Kenzo Takada in 1975

Claudia Cardinale by Terence Donovan

Stars of the new wave no.3- the kids of the blitz, le kilt, le beat route

The cult with no name gets it's own book.

Princess Elizabeth of Toro

Shot here by David Bailey in 1965.

Stephen Willats / Doppelganger

Wonderful little project from Willats- where he takes 3 people, and builds a portait of them through the objects around them and places they go. It's a super book, and a deceptively simple cultural artefact.

Ace!

Seuss / Beat in Liverpool

Another killer from Seuss, its 1965, and he's in Liverpool covering the beat scene..

Bruce Weber - Men & Women - Images from Nicole

This is amazing. Bruce Weber's first (of sorts) book, shot on Gilgo beach NY for Nicole. Very tricky to turn up. 100 pages of amazingness. Here are some of them...

Twiggy - Late 1967

The Ama - Mermaids of Japan

This is a pretty fascinating one- A book on the Ama divers of the Izu peninsula.

Seventies Sonia Rykiel

Some lovely Rykiel here from 1976, of course with Marie Helvin..

Max Natkiel - Paradiso Stills

Some favourite spreads from Natkiel's cult document of 80's dutch youth culture.

Paolo Roversi shoots 'The Beaton Track' 1994

Some top drawer work from Roversi.

Karl Lagerfeld and Chloe

Karl Lagerfeld shot by David Bailey in 1975 for a Chloe Special. Oh- and of course, with David Bailey's new wife Marie Helvin.

Marisol Escobar

One cool as hell cat. Shown here is some of her work from the 1968 Venice Biennale.

Boutique culture in the late sixties

2 indespensable guides to where to shop and who shops there.

Rococo and Co. / 1985

More 'Jill' amazingness, this time with Caroline Baker on styling duties.

Bodymap

Think this came from an issue of Jill, circa '84, before it flew off the shelf and into the pocket of a collector. A nice 6 page special on Stevie Stewart and David Holah's legendary Body Map. According to a couple of people who were around in the 80's, for a few years Body Map was everywhere. Surely by now a retrospective is in order..

Guy Bourdin's Exhibit A

A few choice pages from 'Exhibit A'

swanky modes!

As seen in here 1977..

Stars of the New Wave no.2 - Boy London

This is amazing. Featuring Sadie Frost, Soo Catwoman and Suby Barnes amongst others (all faces of the time).

Elisabeth Dijan / Les Incroyables / 1985

Brilliant shoot taken from Dijan's 'Jill'.

Anders Holmquist / The Free People / 1969

Maybe one of the best books that came out immediatly after Woodstock.

Splash Hits 1965

Lyle Bonge / The Sleep of Reason / 1974

Mardi Gras never looked so amazing (or sinister).

Late Seventies Roller Disco

Vita Miezitis and Bill Bernstein's Brilliant Night Dancin'- an indespensable guide to New York nightlife in the late seventies. Aside of covering

Haruko Wanibuchi and Kansai Yamamoto

Former Avedon Assistant Tad Wakamatsu's 1970 book 'Ipy Girl Ipy' is, as everybody knows, amazing. Also amazing is that Kansai Yamamoto did the costumes. These images are from First and Last, which is kind of a retrospective celebration of the original book, with lots of outtakes, interviews and texts. As the original Ipy Girl was a nude book, there wasn't so much in terms of clothing, so this is the first time Yamamoto's full designs have been seen. Enjoy!

Stars of the new wave no.1 - Judy Frankland

Blitz Kid Judith Frankland's graduate collection from 1980, seen here in Viz magazine. You can catch up with her current activities here: the swell life

Scenes by David Bailey / March 1969

Definitely one of his more surreal pieces of work..

Juergen Seuss - London Scene 1969

A brilliant work from the lesser know Juergen Seuss.
