Here are some interesting images from a book called 'Honk Kong Comics'. I thought they worked quite well with the other images people have been posting, as well as what people are wearing today.
The comic came out in 1966 and the main character was a western girl living in HK name Miss Thirteen Dot. Young girls would copy the fashion in the comic.
All images: 13-Dot Cartoon 1966 artist/script: Lee Wai Chun
There hasn't been much action on this thread... maybe this will jump start it.

"Never get so attached to a poem, you
Forget truth that lacks lyricism"

"And the signifieds butt heads with the signifiers
And we all fall down slack-jawed to marvel at words
When across the sky sheet the impossible birds
In a steady illiterate movement homewards"

Click on the thumbnails to see details of the pictures/clothes. It's rare, but I do envy this precocious poet's talent as well as her truly original style.

Joanna Newsom is great!
I went to see her about 3 months ago and loved!

Those comics above are great they remind me a little of the Daisy paperdoll books by Mary Quant which I love- so cute

I work at a children's clothing store and I am constantly inspired by the preppy boys clothes, such as the navy blazers, stiff-collared rugby shirts, and striped oxfords. Children's prep school uniforms are so stylish in my opinion! Here are some great things I found on prep-school uniform websites:

notice the exagerated bow!

Plus anything that a preppy little boy would wear is awesome

that red coat is darling! i would love to have it for myself. i just love empire-waists.

oh, stilista, those remind me of an editorial in vogue italia, with frankie rayder i believe, could have been steven meisel, and it was called 'tuesday's child' or something like that.... i wish somebody could find it....

i found the cover at least

from fashion-iconography.net


dreamland, lovely style you have

 

[maraschin0]

Dreamland: Those pieces are wonderful and incredibly cute! =) I like how they paired it up too. I checked the site, but alas I cannot read Korean =(
