Mao by Andy Warhol
From one of my all-time favourite fashion shoots Vogue in China October 1979.Why don't they still dress like this? I know, but still..

Conveniently dressed Beijing cyclists
Red lacquer and green leather does it for me
Red Lacquer and Nature not bad either

all fabulous, your color sense here is glorious- each better than the next. You look pretty fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteRosie~ I love you in your absinthe colored Mao outfit. Best, Kendra
ReplyDeleteChina has been Gucci-fied, I agree lovely combo. I particularly like the shade of green (which I would call olive), that was used on the Mao/PLA jackets, and of course red is all over, like newspapers. Glad my V****a and p***s comments eventually got through. Your spam filter works. I wonder what it will do with asterisks.
ReplyDeleteMao only wished he looked that good.
ReplyDeleteA few days ago, I left a comment on this post. Like all other comments I left on other blogs that day, it never made it. But in essence, it said, 'absolutely brilllliant post----lush and clever. Wish I'd thought of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I don't know what to say..
ReplyDeleteWhat great images, I love the Vogue one! Why do people say "red and green should never be seen" when it works so well together. You look fabulous in that jacket and I love the brooch too xx
ReplyDeleteChristina, that whole Vogue shoot was divine. Sorry to be pedantic, but I think it's Blue and Green that should never be seen! I am going to get round to a post on that combo later.
