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..

Red lacquer and green leather does it for me




Red Lacquer and Nature not bad either



Me as Mao

  3. China 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.

  7. What 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

  8. Christina, 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.
