I stumbled on it while looking<br /> up the former editor of Vogue, Edna Woolman Chase.<br /> ""Concentrate completely on showing the dress, light it for this purpose and if that can't be done with art then art be damned. Show the dress. This is an order straight from the boss's mouth and will you please have it typed and hung in the studio".</p> <p>The page is mostly, though, the fashion photography of John Rawlings. It says he introduced celebrities into the fashion shoot but primarily it's interesting for all the daylight and outdoor photography against which you see exceedingly well-dressed women a la Mad Men. From a day when it wasn't a mark against you that you<br /> made a big effort to look put together. The article says he emphasized a less labor intensive glamour than European fashion but in our day that's not at all obvious!</p> <p>I do like how well you can see the clothes and that most of them are not lying prostrate - something I hate in fashion photography. </p> <p>And oh man look at Gene Tierney in that dark overcoat and shoulder bag, against a sort of packing crate wall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here/page/2#post-381607 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:23:55 +0000 greenglove 381607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br /> This is for next week.

Here are a couple:</p> <p>I've been fussing with my fine, uber-straight hair and have been trying to figure out ways to coerce it into an updo that holds in the summer heat. Toward that end, I have been intrigued by two items. The first is a blog called Hair Romance. The hairstylist who writes it developed 30 different styles and is selling a how-to e-Book, but I'm just enjoying the photos alone at this point:</p> <p><a href="http://www.hairromance.com/p/30-hairstyles-in-30-days.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hairromance.com/p/3.....-days.html</a></p> <p>The other item that caught my eye was this how-to on turban headscarf styles, which looks promising for restraining hair in the summer heat:</p> <p><a href="http://www.sayyestohoboken.com/2011/05/how-to-tie-summer-turban-two-ways.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sayyestohoboken.com.....-ways.html</a></p> <p>Last but not least, trouble in San Francisco, and around two of YLF's favorite topics: airport attire and saggy pants. Apparently a grieving young man returning from a friend's funeral was asked to pull up his sagging pants before boarding a flight, refused to comply and was arrested. It was revealed later in the week that a businessman is frequently allowed to fly the same airline in women's underwear: <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/22/BAH01K1EK2.DTL" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/.....1K1EK2.DTL</a> </p> <p>More on the young man's story here:<br /> <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/crime/detail?entry_id=91290" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/.....y_id=91290</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here#post-371396 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 23:53:40 +0000 Sparky 371396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently read two articles in my local paper that are truly food for thought. The first one is about a local museum doing an exhibit on military uniforms' influence on fashion:</p> <p><a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/fashion/articles/2011/06/02/frontline_fashion_exhibit_shows_how_uniforms_have_inspired_fashion_designers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.boston.com/lifestyl.....designers/</a></p> <p>Who knew that bell bottoms were inspired by Navy uniforms? I also did not know that Chanel was inspired by many aspects of military dress, but after reading that it made sense to me.</p> <p>More recently, I read that some high-end designers (Gucci, Versace, etc.) are coming out with clothing for tots. Fascinating that these designers must think 1) that the economy is rebounding such that people will be comfortable paying the very high prices for fashion statements for little kids, and 2) that *really* expensive clothing for kids that will outgrow them quickly and also tend to stain/shred clothing on a regular basis is a good idea. </p> <p><a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/fashion/articles/2011/06/23/several_high_end_labels_launch_collections_for_kids/" rel="nofollow">http://www.boston.com/lifestyl....._for_kids/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here#post-371224 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:27:21 +0000 catgirl 371224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm adding Sal's post on body hair issues, a personal fave of mine in the world of possible issues:</p> <p><a href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2011/06/reader-request-on-body-hair.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....-hair.html</a></p> <p>And today's post from Sal too, on "coolness", which we all discussed here recently!</p> <p><a href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2011/06/cool.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2011/06/cool.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here#post-371210 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:01:27 +0000 Michelle 371210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came across this Youtube video covering hair styling conundrums.

Specific posts. Well, it's tough to top your posts for helpful information and thought-provoking questions, Angie! </p> <p>I do think Inside Out Style's body type posts are useful; they are very similar to your recommendations but with a few added wrinkles that might be helpful to those wondering how to categorize themselves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here#post-371070 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:29:21 +0000 modgrl 371070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had an excuse to buy this AT dress:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/outfitdetail/AJU7440M/Jungle-Floral-Dress/cat470020/261820?loc=LBJuly7&#038;ICID=LBJuly7" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/o.....ID=LBJuly7</a></p> <p>I love the gorgeous bright colored pattern and the slimming structured, ruched cut.It comes in Petite and Regular sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here#post-371061 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:22:37 +0000 modgrl 371061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@MaryK, that girl has my Sofft Pavia's that make my legs look miles long!<br /> I wish she would vary her WIW locations, poses and surly model pout.
