There's no denying that old-school Wildfox knew how to make a lookbook. For their spring 2009 collection, OG founders Kimberly and Emily decided to create an editorial inspired by the 1992 classic Dazed and Confused to showcase their retro-inspired clothing. Follow along below as the models engage in senior skip day antics, fight at a '70s inspired carwash, and chill together in an empty track field:
I decided to poke around the archives of iwantyoutoknow.co.uk, a blog created by then-fashion student and current influencer Kristabel Plummer. As you'd expect, her outfits are very much based on early 2010's fashion trends—think tights with shorts, colorblocking, and midi skirts. Still, despite being so trendy, I think her personal style shines through in the way she layers pieces and in the silhouettes she chooses when creating her fits. I guess that's to say that even though these outfits are far from timeless, they don't feel overally gaudy or tacky, and I think there are elements of them that can still work quite well today:
This weekend, I started to go through and archive one of my favorite blogs, the cherry blossom girl. Named after a song by legendary indietronica band Air, Alix shared her indie-meets-boho style and random cool things she liked, ranging from blythe dolls to cobrasnake photos to sofia coppola films. it's just too good. Many of her early posts are written in french, which is a downside if you're still traumatized from your high school french class almost a decade after you graduated (not that I would know what that's like or anything.....), but nonetheless, I feel like I could get lost in her blog for hours. these are some of my favorite images I came across from her early blog archives:
Obssesed with this impeccably curated blog post put together by Justine Rebbot, the blogger behind 1991-today. Her image aesthetics span from indie sleaze to boho to twee, and it all works together perfectly. Take a look below:
Finishing off this year's Coachella series with some casual snaps by Bueno Bueno on flickr. As much as I love the work of The Cobrasnake and Last Night's Party, I think I prefer these amateur photographs because they just have a different kind of authenticity to them. They give you a peek as to what Coachella was like for the vast majority of attendees, and contrary to what the internet makes it seem like, most of them were normal people and not influencers or celebrities at parties. It's more relatable I guess, and to be honest, it looks more fun. See for yourself below:
