August Fashion Story: Story of My Life

At this very moment, the eighties are swirling up around us, as the decade of synthetic glory and exaggerated excess enjoys a fashionable reincarnation. But while the chic set chatters on and on about Debbie Harry and David Bowie, or how they're currently channeling Tina Chow and Alexis Carrington, we're looking to a less obvious muse: the literary brat pack. Our August editorial isn't an exact homage to Ellis and McInerney per se; however it is a tribute to the stylish characters that populate the pages of their novels. Whether you view it with these flawed-but-fabulous fictitious females in mind or simply take it as a modern retelling of some of the era's major trends, we hope you enjoy.



As always, you can enlarge any of the images in today's story simply by clicking on them. If you'd like to shop the shoot directly, just read on for a detailed list of all the products used!

This linguistic switch is due to the fashion plates which were produced during the Industrial Revolution, showing the latest designs.
