Lest my mother inlaw think that I don’t actually peruse the items she sends to me from Gigi …
I decided to get my Tavi Gevinson-on by plucking out a few choice visuals from the September issue of
VOGUE 1996!
Gotta love Gigi. She keeps everything!
Remember when Kate Moss was cute? I love me some Grace Coddington, but what AD chose these font colors for the cover? OMG, puke much?
Anyway, September 1996 was kind of a big deal. I’d just graduated from PVHS in June and was headed to university to study Graphic Design (whatever THAT was). Hard to believe the field was in its infancy when I started college. Trip out. If it weren’t for computers, I’d probably be an interior designer today.
Now, to the visuals!
If you knew me in high school, and for most of my time at Davis for that matter, you know I had a real love of garishly brown lipstick. But don’t go on thinking I wasn’t “on trend”; the proof (provided by L’OREAL) below:
I’m pretty sure the brown I used to wear was from an eyeliner; whatever works!
I see you, Tyty:
What exactly is Tyra “modeling” here? I can’t for the life of me remember what XOXO was … clothing? Make-up? Perfume? The latter two would make sense since there’s no CLOTHES in this ad!
Moving on -
Didyaknow that your favorite ex-MTV VJ turned white rapper and Samantha’s boytoy/love of her life (from Sex and the City) were once-upon-a-time Tommy Hilfiger models?:
I see you Simon Rex and Jason Lewis!
Ahhh, the good ole days … before Demi Moore got all crazy and hopped on stage with Snoop Dogg and did some, ahem, “dancing”:
And finally, a sex-say shot of your favorite Project Runway judge Michael Kors:
Does he say “Fashion is always changing” a lot? ‘Cause I swear I hear that line every time a Fashion Television commercial comes on.
Thanks for reading!
