Vintage Lei covers and editorials

[iluvjeisa]

^ Hard to imagine they really decided to actually style her hair like that...oh how the times change

Thanks Pedro!

Could you give me some info on stylists working for this magazine?

Fashion editorials from this era only had info about photographer, hairdresser and makeup. Only exceptional editorials had reference to styling, as happened with a few Bruce Weber spreads.
For each issue the masthead section gave information about contributors. Established stylist names such as Brana Wolf, Paul Cavaco, Tonne Goodman, Marc Ascoli, Tina Bossidy, Joe McKenna and Carine Roitfeld, appeared regularly.

^Thanks for the info. Interesting that the stylists weren't credited. I can't imagine that happening now.

^Thanks. These are from the period after Sozzani. Unfortunately the quality in content decreased significantly.

Oh!So you recommend buying from what years?

Franca Sozzani left LEI and PER LUI by the time she took over VOGUE ITALIA, around mid-end 1988. I think the one below from March 1989 (Claudia Schiffer by Steven Meisel, I presume) must be the last one with some interest. Actually I had this issue but sold it.

Wish we could know for sure if it's by Steven.Thanks for the info,i'll look for issues more from the 80's then

So Franca Sozzani was the editor of LEI @ some pt? No wonder I've always loved these mags... the covers are so simplistic and fresh... and for the most pt, all of the cover girls were interesting, the set template that so many publications employ these days was not present yet..

What was the content like?

Page 2 of this thread kinda answers your question.

My mother was going to be featured on the cover of Lei in 1985 but the prints didn't make it to the editors in time! True story!
