ChiCa Boom!



















those eyes..those teeth, those breasts....that Loren....a definite member of my Pantheon of Iconic Women...
(PS 1: people in the 60s we so much more forgiving, and it's not just a "European thing")
(PS 2: I am very lucky to say I am shaped like her - sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse!)

Style Over Time~

Many have tried to define "style" - it's a term difficult to snare and reduce to a simple definition...

.......what did it mean in 1942?......

 
in 1966?
in 1967?



again in 1966?

I think that "style" has had the same definition throughout the history of fashion.....that certain appropriateness of a combination of colour, form and proportion.... in my view, stylish clothes transcend fashion...I belive that that what was stylish 60 years ago is still that - stylish...
..sometimes, style and fashion intersect, but not always (and I think they should)...more about that in another post...
