A Taste for the Tropics - Dolly July 1983


I love love love this fashion spread - pastel summertime in 1983 as photographed by Graham Shearer.  I love all the rags, fishnet socks and jelly shoes!

  1. I remember the knots, the twists, the wraps, the lop-sided and the double or even triple belts like it was yesterday, thanks Glossy. X

  4. I had this issue! I also remember all those layered pastels and all those great accessories (DIY head and neck wraps!) from spring '83 like it was yesterday! Can't believe it was 30 (THIRTY!!!) years ago now. Glad to see you posting again, Maryanne!

  5. I remember what a nightmare maintaining this look was from a window dresser's point of view...the numerous belts and scarves were constantly being sold of the mannequin ruining the look!

  6. Hi! I have just discovered your blog and it is FANTASTIC!!!! I remember this fashion spread too, and I loved the whole tropical island look back then, it reminded me of all my (still) favourite Duran Duran film clips :) The dark haired model was in the Union of the Snake video too. Keep up the great work. Regards, Chrissy
