Totally wearable today. </p> <p>However, I suspect that this may be because our current fashion climate is really inclusive - there is no unifying element really except to revamp and riff off of styles from the past. This is to say I don't think the look above is "timeless" exactly... it would have seemed dated in the 80s, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-793533 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:05:37 +0000 cheryl 793533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally wearable.

I was thinking the hair of the models in my catalogues, which was so clearly 80s hair.</p> <p>Ah, mother-imposed perms. Mine gave up when I was about nine. Thank goodness. The one she did for my Grade 5 picture day was absolutely hideous. Come to think of it, I can't remember her doing it again. Maybe she agreed... Too bad it had to be preserved for posterity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782552 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:37:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 782552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it her hair JR or just the 70s hair in general? My mother used to perm my hair when I was a child &amp; teen (I know) but when I saw Jean Shrimpton I wouldn't let her do it any more. I still love "messy" hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782317 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:45:05 +0000 JR 782317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been digging out my knitting and crocheting books from 30+ years ago, and it's amazing how much of it is wearable now. The hair, not so much... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782315 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:43:31 +0000 judy 782315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't posted here for a while...but loved reading that guardian article about Jean Shrimpton...who I remember well....running a hotel in Cornwall! Shades of the Doc Martin tv series :). Thanks for the inspiration today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782264 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:58:11 +0000 Day Vies 782264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely wearable. Print shirt, trousers and a cardigan -- absolutely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782241 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:08:54 +0000 MsMary 782241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was around in the 70s and I have definitely noticed that a lot of things we wore back then are back again! I totally remember Jean Shrimpton!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782240 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:03:47 +0000 Shu 782240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally. Right down to the hair and make-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782165 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:19:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 782165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely wearable and fashionable today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782156 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:13:17 +0000 Suz 782156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timeless to us, now...but to her it was brand new. So "timeless" is always relative. Maybe our skinnies will last 40 years as wearables? Hard to say at this point.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782138 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:58:08 +0000 Jaime 782138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timeless and stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782124 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:31:58 +0000 Raisin 782124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely wearable now. I love it actually. Timeless inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782117 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:18:46 +0000 Anonymous 782117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks very modern to me except the pants seem conspicuously high rise compared to what's available out there right now. What a beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782072 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:20:37 +0000 Deborah 782072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suzette, she is in her late 60's almost 70 I think and is very much a recluse. She owns and operates a hotel now I believe. Here is the link to an interesting interview and a photo of JS from last year.</p> <p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2011/apr/30/saturday-interview-jean-shrimpton" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/theg.....-shrimpton</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782069 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:08:59 +0000 suzette 782069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I recall Jean Shrimpton, was sort of the "upper class" Twiggy. She set trends like Jackie Kennedy. I wish I knew what happened to her (Shrimpton, of course!), or maybe not. I do agree, however, that, "what goes around comes around", I could kick myself for getting rid of so many of my great fashions that are once again, in style...I did, however hang onto a "Beatles" shirt, and my "Durango" boots from the 70's. I have some other stuff, but the "gone" items...well, can't go back, if I could go back, it would be for a lot more than my fashion... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782068 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:57:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 782068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore that photo of her at the Cup Deborah - I remember the media frenzy it caused. I thought she looked amazing compared to all the overdressed Toorak Matrons.<br /> A watershed moment for fashion in Australia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782066 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:57:30 +0000 Lyn D. 782066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, she is 'famous' in Australia, especially in my city. She attended a once a year horse race called the 'Melbourne Cup' in the 1960's wearing the above outfit.<br /> She shocked the press and attendees by wearing a skirt above the knee and no hat or gloves!<br /> Every year around the race time we see this picture and wonder what all the fuss was about then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782061 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:04:30 +0000 Ingunn 782061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a classy lady! I have never heard of her, but I would love to have her looks! Totally wearable today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782059 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:00:07 +0000 Deborah 782059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally wearable today but I can't help imagining JCrew giving this the modern touch with that silly half shirt tuck:)</p> <p>Even the outfit she wore to the Melbourne Cup translates to today I think. Look at those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782051 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:20:22 +0000 ramya 782051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes!!!</p> <p>I would wear it in a heart beat :)<br /> Funny but reminds me of the song What goes around comes around :)<br /> So true for Fashion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timeless-fashion#post-782050 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:17:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 782050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just pinned this photo of Jean Shrimpton from the 1970s. Can't see the shoes (but she usually wore flats). I'd say this is all totally wearable now. What do you think? </p>
