good morning midnight

AND TODAY IN 90’S EDITORIAL GOODNESS, we bring you more 90s-pop-feminism-influenced fashion-androgyny by which I mean “Stella Tennant and then some nakie models with messy hair,” plus the last time that neon opaque blue and yellow lipstick was a thing! 

Previously: Arena Homme eds by Stevens Meisel & Klein, the Self Service archives, and more Arena Homme from ‘96. It’s okay if you go ahead and print it all out and paper your walls with it, ‘cuz I was thinking about that too.

[Via the TFS vintage magazines thread, which I could obviously spend weeks browsing.]

Over-the-top clashing 80s-Versace-esque styling, excessively flashy Chanel bling (why am I such a sucker for that?), and campy poses: do editorials get any more fun than this? Elle October 2011.

Karmen Pedaru by Fabien Baron for Interview.  So, who wants to go to Beacon’s Closet with me and buy a bunch of ugly mismatched coloured things and shiny black lipstick and then run around looking like this always, do I have any volunteers, what do you mean no, what is wrong with you people

BUT EITHER WAY here’s the thing about re-posting editorials: I think I devote way too much time to trying to figure them out. Like, is that really Broadway in Brooklyn and why did I never think about the fact that using a wide-angle near the ground in that lot over by the Broadway G stop would be an awesome place to take photos, wait no those big white tank things in the background, that must be in Queens or LIC somewhere or elsewhere in Brooklyn where there’s el trains, and was he using a softbox or a ring flash, or is that somehow natural light, no probably a ring flash with that kind of fill right? And also doesn’t this somehow remind you of that Milla Jovovich editorial that I had to google weird things for 15 minutes (“Milla punk androgyny” “Milla skinhead 80s” “Milla Jovovich versace punk editorial 90s”) before finding it again BUT I DID because my bizarre memory for photographs I saw once three years ago somehow trumps all (like “did I remember to turn off the lights this morning OH GOD”) and also that gorgeous Mert and Marcus Red Hook ed? Seriously though that has to be a ring flash, right? 

Either way, at the very least I think this glitter black nail polish thing needs to happen in my life pretty much now.

Missing fall clothes, wool, layers, earth tones, boots - and suddenly wanting a probably ill-advised bang trim. Tanga Moreau by Dancian for Marie Claire Italia August 2011.
