For the love of prints

I was photographing some lovely 1960's dresses this evening to go on eBay, and it reminded me how much I love the prints we find on the clothes that pass through our doors. I think I might start collecting them in a little album. Print love...

We were very excited when we heard from Lucy at The Vintage Rag Mag - she wanted to use one of the shots from one of our photoshoots as her cover shot for the January 2012 issue. How exciting! So here it is, in all its glory, it's one of my favourite shoots from the shoots we have worked on and was taken by the lovely Ursula Roxy at Canon Hill Park in Birmingham. The make up (check out those beautiful red lips) was by Jen from Gipsy Lady Make Up and the model is the superb Jolie Myatt at Adage. We wanted to put together a chic ladylike outfit to match the crisp winter day, and doesn't Jolie look every inch the elegant vintage lady! We're so glad that lots of people will now get to see the results of our hard work.

If you are into vintage (and I'm guessing you might be since you are reading our blog!) then I would thoroughly recommend a read of the magazine too. You can pick up a paper copy from various vintage fairs and events all over the place, but you can also read it online. This month's issue has features on the vintage trends of 2011 and ones to watch for 2012, also a round up of great vintage January sales and lots of gorgeous vintage fashion. Well worth a look!
