Textbook

Posted by Erica on November 23rd, 2011

If your a fashion enthusiast and a literature or history buff (gasp!), I hope you’re already familiar with Textbook, where our friend and fellow blogger John Januzzi imagines how fictional heroines, cultural icons, and historical figures might be styled for this day and age. Characters like Jay Gatsby, Veruca Salt, Joan of Arc, and Tinkerbell are playfully dissected and outfitted with individualized runway pieces. The collages are meticulously assembled and the captions are witty. All in all, it’s honestly genius. He even takes requests! So dear John, what would Jo March wear?

Vogue: The Covers

Posted by Erica on November 22nd, 2011

Vogue is looking back at 120 years of covers with their latest Vogue: The Covers. Organized in chronological order by decade, the book begins with illustrated covers from the magazine’s inception in 1892 to present day. Witnessing the evolution of fashion, art, culture, and photography via the work of influential artists like Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, Annie Leibovitz, and Mario Testino is exemplary and fascinating.
