“Before your very eyes – something to amaze and delight you from Polaroid and Simpson of Piccadilly. From Simpson – beautiful clothes by Daniel Hechter and sunglasses by Polaroid, captured for posterity and you by David Bailey, using Polaroid’s revolutionary SX-70 Land Camera.”
“Before your very eyes – something irresistible, Simpson and Daniel Hechter, with the SX-70 Land Camera, it’s all so simple. You focus, touch a red electric shutter button, and within 2 seconds out spills an apparently blank sheet of film. Gradually, almost magically, the picture develops before you.”
Clothing for this article were sourced from Simpson by Daniel Hechter. Once again David Bailey astonishes us with his striking imagery using a SX-70 Land Camera.

“Most famous designers ascend to public fame after recognition in their own world of fashion, or after being lauded by the press.
But Loris Azzaro, whose glittering clothes are first seen in these pages, is being made successful by his customers – and when your clients are Lisa Minnelli, Bardot, Martinelli and Bacall, fame must follow.
Already he has salons in Paris, Milan and Rome, and a boutique in St Tropez, where he started”.
“One of Azzaro’s trademarks is bare shoulders, in contrast to the totally covered look for evening which has been popular for so long.”
“Both are wearing Azzaro dresses – Miss Berenson’s in the clinging sequin fabric which is one of Azzaro’s favourites. Lisa Minnelli wears a purple jersey Azzaro design in the film – with bare shoulders and a curtain of fine chains over the midriff.
Other women who buy from this former schoolmaster turned dress designer are Marlene Jobert, Zsa Zsa Gabor (who bought 18 dresses on one visit), Elsa Martinelli, Jean Seberg, Lauren Bacall”

I stumbled upon this stunning editorial over the Christmas period. I absolutely fell in love not only with the photography, but also with the fabulous fashion.
Some of the images are so breathtaking that they almost appear to be painted.

Miss Booty Barefoot for Vintage Editorials: In An Adult Fashion…
“The top young London designers, who pioneered many of the young ideas of the mid-Sixties, are now concentrating on a more adult look”. by Cherry Twiss.
Much of the fashion shown here is by the outstanding craftsmanship of Ossie Clark, Sheridan Barnett at Quorum, Jean Muir, Thea Porter, Missoni and St Laurent Rive Gauche. xxNxx

Translating French fashion editorials to English is hard work….and not always as simple as it may seem. Yes Google translate does come into play – most certainly on this occasion – however – you have to be somewhat of a wordsmith or even have a minor ability to decrypt – as not every sentence or word translates well.
What does translate incredibly well is the photography. As it is said – “A picture is worth a thousand words” and so WOW – do these images do this statement justice. Bagsie (used in the U.K. to call dibbs, to claim first choice, by saying bagsie you are saying it is yours because you are the first to claim it.) on the clover print pant suit please! xxNxx
“She’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.”
She has lunch at San Lorenzo, dinner at Tramps, tea for two under the pergola. She’s a believer in love at first sight, a tarot card reader, a collector of ghost stories, a confidante.
“She’ll only wear clothes with good vibrations”

Her Holiday: a cottage in Wales, a farmhouse in Lucca, a schooner round the isles of Greece – but she doesn’t have to relax, her whole life’s a holiday.

Natasha (a.k.a Miss Booty Barefoot) is a Cambridge-based Vintage Boutique owner, style maven and all out fashion lover. She is currently studying towards her Degree in Psychology, whilst also being an active vintage fashion blogger, occasional street style photographer and vintage magazine curator. Being a busy mother of two small children, devoted wife & vintage boutique owner certainly takes up most of her time – unbelievably Natasha still finds time to smell the roses, listen to music and love life to the max. There are 24 hrs in a day, and 7 day’s in a week, so she try’s to squeeze as much out of her life as she possibly can.
