When I'm feeling uninspired and stagnant, I dive into my fashion archives for some much needed rejuvination. By fashion archives, I mean the mountain of magazines I somehow manage to store in a one bedroom NYC apartment. I know that in today's modern age of technology I can find almost anything online, but I'm a sucker for having something tangible. Besides, I feel a tremendous sense of pride when I flip through my September 1985 issue of Vogue! Today, I happened to be browsing through an old Collezioni from Spring 1992 when I came across designer Susanne Wiebe who was showing in Munich that season. I recently featured a few looks from Wiebe's Fall 2010 collection from Berlin Fashion Week. What an interesting progression she has made over 18 years! I thought it would be fun to compare...
Susanne Wiebe Collection - Spring 1992
Susanne Wiebe - Fall 2010
Well, that's quite a difference! What do you guys think?
I kept my (insanely large) collection of (basically every US) magazines till I moved into a 900 sq foot condo with my now husband. There was just no more space. And while I really appreciate not having the clutter, I do miss those babies.
ReplyDeletei had a "moment" last month where i had a tinge of regret of all the magazines i had gotten rid of...because of clutter... =(
ReplyDeletethis is pretty insane the difference in this one designer...i would never have thought just looking at the pics that it was one and the same...but i like that it evolved so much...
I'm so glad you keep lots of old clips. Gonna use some of those soon!
