I’ve always loved British Fashion Designer extraordinaire Zandra Rhodes ( click ) And loved her even more when I saw her pink bobbed hair at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Press Preview for the Punk: Chaos to Couture Exhibition in 2013. She is seen here with another favorite of mine, Hamish Bowles, Contributor to Vogue, Collector of Vintage fashions ( click ) and to see my photos from the amazing Met Punk Exhibition click HERE

Memories. Diana Vreeland Letter – 1983

Posted by O on Oct 18, 2014 in Helen's Blog | 0 comments

Letter from Diana Vreeland

Memories. A letter to treasure. Forever. From Diana Vreeland, famous for her years at Harper’s Bazaar, as Editor in Chief at Vogue, the 12 extraordinary exhibitions she consulted on for Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, her wit, her often outrageous quotes and much more.

Diana Vreeland, also a classy lady, sent me this letter in 1983 after I had devoted my whole column, about 8 pages, in Peluquerias Magazine to her 1982 exhibition, La Belle Epoque.  I had researched visuals of the art period from 1890 to 1914 extensively, and asked various hairdressers to send me photos and sketches of updated versions of the hair looks for the era. Peluquerias did us all proud with a great layout design. But I never expected a letter like this from The Great One. What an honor.

Natassja Kinksi and The Serpent – 1981

Famous 1981 Vogue photo, actress Natassja Kinski and The Serpent. There isn’t a great hairstyle here but John Sahag had this photo in his portfolio because it was very famous, and still is. It also became a top selling poster. The only accessory, apart from the python wound around her body, was an ivory bracelet, according to Vogue’s Polly Mellen. I think Natassia was very brave, the idea, Avedon’s, and everything about this photo, fantastic, iconic.  For more John Sahag editorials, click here:
