Show me a high vampiric collar and I'm sold. 

Not sure the designer, but sure I would wear it.

The skinny jean has reigned supreme in fashion for so long, but this spring could change that. The seventies style featured in the first two pictures here has been channeled in the collections for S/S 2011. So start raiding somebody's mother's closet and work out what shoes to wear because the bell bottom is back in a big way.

Stables Market. Camden.

The London markets. Enjoyable but expensive.We went to as many as we could, but alot of them featured new stuff. Not as thrilling as treasure hunting in Montreuil here in Paris.

Almost Famous.

Signe in her seventies vintage coat in Reims.

It's all happening.

Vanity Moment.

This weekend I went to the Montreuil Marche des Puces. Translation: Excellent flea market.

Lillian.

Lillian Bassman is an American photographer who published primarily in Harper's Bazaar in the 1950's and 1960's. In the 1970's her black and white stylized shots were considered out of vogue. She tossed fourty years of negatives and prints and abandoned fashion photography. A trash bag with her old work in it was recently found and Liliann- who is now in her nineties- is rediscovering what she loved to do and is teaching herself how to use digital technology and photoshop to enhance her old work and create a collection of new passion projects. I am in love with her style. Elegant and timeless. Not unlike Lilian.
