seventies
backpacker magazine
i wrote a post about backpacker magazine covers from the seventies back in 2009, but unfortunately lost it to the gods of unreliable image hosting. so i thought i’d remind you that you can actually browse back issues of backpacker magazine on google books (from 1973-now)
i have spent an unhealthy amount of time ogling backpackers wearing woolrich & sporting glorious moustaches
1970′s
what i love most about these photos is that for all you know they could have been taken today, until you look a little bit closer and notice tiny details that are truly seventies. they are from the collection of lisa ann wilson, ”unearthed never-before-seen box of photos taken of / by my mother in the early 70s”
gucci’s corduroy
did all the designers of the world flip a switch of some magical machine that travels across the ocean and reads my brain waves? because they’re hitting all the right notes for the new collections. i mean, i don’t even like gucci… usually. these are three looks from their pre-fall 2011 collection that i love. that green get-up is amazing - except for the bag. still can’t get the bags right, gucci.
