Something Old Part 2

Here are the vintage magazine covers from Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Seventeen from the decades 1970-2010.
1970s

Cover girls Bonnie Lyshoir and Joyce Wilford are bright and colorful in matching shorts, tights, tops and tennis shoes on the 1971 cover of Seventeen


The black and white cover of Vogue in November of 1971 features bright contrast in the form of blue eyes and the timeless red lip
1980s
The July 1985 cover of Seventeen shows cover girl Jeanette Schaefer in a shoulder padded jackets and a black and white printed dress that I would totally wear today.

Christy Turlington regal and glamour on the July 1986 edition of Vogue.

1990s

Cameron Diaz is smiley in a red, white, and blue top and American flag earrings for the July 1990 issue of Seventeen




There were so many amazing 90s Vogue covers I couldn't pick just one. Christy Turlington strikes a pose in a jumpsuit that even features the magazine in the print (top) on the December 1990 issue. Karen Mulder wears another tight printed jumpsuit, this time in yellow and pink as wells as stripes and polka dots, on the March 1991 issue of Vogue.

Here's to a new year full of fun and fashion...

Something Old, Something New

They say those who don't remember the past won't have a future. So while everyone looks forward to a new year and a new decade, I thought to take a look a look at the fashions of decades past. To do this I was able to find archives of old magazine covers, belonging to some of the most popular fashion magazines, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Seventeen. Not only do some of these covers date back to the 1940s, but they are fun, pretty and artistic. Hopefully they inspire you to make some new fashion resolutions for 2010.
