This is retrospective fashion folks. It is great when Dazed & Confused allows us to peak into their amazing archives. This gorgeous mannequin fashion series is from November 1998. I love the British for their proud heritage of the James Bond movies. This is a particular homage to Goldfinger, I presume.
The photographer for the ‘My Day at the Office’ fashion story was Vincent Peters and the rather undressed styling was done by Dazed stylist, Katie Grand. I say looking back is a good thing in these credit crunch days. Let’s not fret but enjoy all the extravagant fun we have had over the years.
