Everything Vintage: Hair and Headwear through the decades

Vintage Friday

1920's

The 20's is my favourite era in history! I'm sure not everyone lived like a Fitzerald character did back then, but that's what I picture when I think about the 1920's.

The cloche hat was the epitome of flapper sophistication.





The "bob" was the iconic hairstyle of the era.


The Blunt Bob




The Wavy Bob


Headbands with sequins and feathers were also popular during this era. Bands were worn across the forhead and if the woman had bangs it would be placed over top of them.




1930's

The 1930's brought back a more feminine look - curves replaced the masculine lines of the 20's. Slightly longer waves came back in style and the hats were worn at a flirty tilt.







1940's
Hats became a little smaller and largely took inspiration from the military. Feathers, corsages, netting and veils provided a sophisticated feminine finish.
1940's hairstyles were ultra femine and elegant. They were elaborately planned with with curls and updos.



1950's
Perfectly primed curls was the hair trend of the 1950's. And headscarves were the practical and stylish way to keep those perfect curls in place.



The "Poodle" was famously worn by Lucille Ball

Jackie Kennedy was a style icon of the 50's and 60's.





1960's
Pompadours and bouffants and beehives were the styles in the 60's. Backcomb, backcomb, and then backcomb some more. Hair was high and Mod was in. Small, round pill box hats that sat at the crown of the head were also all the rage.





1970's
Farrah Fawcett was the one who made the feathered look a style statement in the 70's. Wildly flowing, natural hair was also a style choice with the 70's flower children. Women would also go to great lengths to get a long and straight look - since flatirons didn't exist back then they would actually IRON their hair using a clothes iron!



1980's
Haha I just had to use this picture! It says it all! Frost, perm, tease, hairspray...




1990's
And of course the Jennifer Aniston cut was how almost everyone wore their hair in the 90's (unless you were grunge). I had this hairstyle and I LOVED it! In fact, I want it to make a comeback! Since 80's is back in this season maybe that will mean the Jennifer cut will be back again soon???



Happy Friday!!!!

Everything Vintage: Retro Vogue


Vintage Friday!

Apologies for this morning's post running a little late - I was at the U2 concert lastnight!!!

I found this very cool blog, Vintage Fashion Magazines, when searching for Vintage Friday images. She is a collector of vintage Vogue and has scanned and posted pages from the 60's up to the early 80's editions. Unfortunately she had to sell her collection so she won't be adding any more but take a look anyway - there are still some really great images to browse through.

The very famous Twiggy on the April, 1967 cover of Vogue. And Twiggy today.






The beautiful Lauren Hutton on the June, 1968 cover of Vogue. And Lauren today. Those big blue eyes are still the same!



A few Vogue covers from 1965.



The 3rd cover model of each row is Veruschka, one of the top models of the time.
She had quite an interesting childhood - she was the daughter of an extremely wealthy
German Count and Countess. Her father became part of the German Resistance and
was assassinated for plotting to kill Hitler! After that her family spent time in labour
camps and were homeless by the end of the war. She was discovered at the age of 20 in
Florence and became a full time model.



More Veruschka - she was absolutely breathtaking...
1966 and 1967




This is Veruschka today.



"Night Drifts - The Unbelted Dress" - 1966
Love them! The hair and makeup are beautiful as well.





I couldn't leave out the 80's since we are seeing styles much like these again in today's fashion magazines.

Isabella Rossellini - 1982
Look at that hair!




The 80's empowered corporate women in Oscar de La Renta and Abe Schrader





Iman in Calvin Klein, 1982
A severe silhouette prominently seen in the Fall 2009 trends.




Happy Vintage Friday!
