There aren’t many accessories shoots worthy of scanning – the majority tend to be fairly static and unimaginative. So kudos to Andreas Heumann for this gorgeous set of pictures which manage to do justice to the contents.

Nova, February 1972
One of my favourite images from a Vargas-inspired spread in Nova, photographed by Hans Feurer. I will scan the others in time, but they all deserve solo appreciation. I think I would actually give my firstborn for those Chelsea Cobbler shoes. Red leather AND stars? Fetch my smelling salts!
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, there is something about the Seventies take on Forties style (and particularly pin-ups) which I find infinitely more appealing than the originals or the tired current trend for such things.
It takes all the glamour and sauce, but gives it that subversive, pop art-esque treatment so typical of designers like Tommy Roberts, Terry de Havilland and Rae Spencer-Cullen for Miss Mouse (amongst so many other Vintage-a-Peel favourites). The models look quirky, confident and very knowing; I never get a sense of exploitation or submission. Even the tagline ‘exploitation can be fun’ is perfectly pitched and mocking both the exploiters and the prudes. Viva la Seventies!

Some divine moire silk Terry De Havilland shoes:
A very groovy plastic Sixties belt:
And some beautiful Biba and Ossie Clark bonneterie.
Curses!! Anna Friel, why I oughta…..
anna friel, tightsThe other day, I blog about my new sparkly flower printed tights from H&M. I haven’t even had a chance to wear them out yet and bloody Anna Friel gets there first. You’d better be glad I REALLY like you Anna, otherwise I’d be REALLY mad with you. AND her shoes look like suede versions of my trusty stalwart patent Office darlings. Darnit. Now everyone’s going to think I’m trying to copy her. *sniffle*
This is why I generally try to buy vintage, I’d almost forgotten how irritating this kind of thing can be.
[evil mode] Do we think they might sell out and I can get a pretty penny for them on eBay? [/evil mode]
