vintage photography... because life is better in black and white

I get all gooey over vintage photography. Especially fashion photography from the 1930s to 1960s. Something happened in those 30 years that I can't imagine happening again. Not with the same degree of elegance, sexiness, poise and style.
So transport yourselves, people, and revel in that mesmerising world of bygone eras.
I sure do.

John French was probably the most famous of all British fashion photographers.
His work really speaks for itself.
You can read more about him and see copies of his gorgeous photographs in this book (click on cover for more info):

Look at the amazing cut of these jackets! The hats and gloves and makeup - everything! - is just soooo stylish and gorgeous.
