Flickr find: Superbomba
Um… I’m in love with Superbomba. She posts the best vintage photos. I genuinely don’t think there’s a bad photo in her photostream. Just varying degrees of good. I proudly admit to wasting lots of time looking at every single page of her photostream. Here’s a taste (and trust me, it’s hard to narrow down)…
Sweet Outfit
I really love this outfit on designer Stine Goya from a photo taken at Copenhagen Fashion Week by Copenhagen Street Style. I love the top in particular, which is her design.
Square America: vintage photos
I am completely enamoured of this blog. Collecting old ‘found’ photos, these fellows arrange groupings of photos in a particular theme and post them. If there’s interesting text on the back, they post that as well. Here are a few that I especially love from the “Beauty (and it’s Discontents)” collection. Check out their site for the full collection, and for others.
Lady lavender
I think this girl and her outfit are pretty much perfect (as captured during Berlin Fashion Week by Ivan over at FaceHunter)…
Flickr find: George Eastman House
The George Eastman House (as in Kodak Eastman company), now a museum, has joined the Library of Congress in creating a Flickr account and posting old photos from their archives for the public to see, tag, and comment on. I feel that more historical societies should do this. Not only does it engage a new audience who may never have thought to visit places such as these, but it provides a much needed link to the past for old and young. It is such an inexpensive way of curating and/or documenting historical photographs which probably have not been exhibited before, due to the sheer volume of the collections. The autochrome set on the Eastman photostream is particularly lovely. Here are a few that I love.
Hank Willis Thomas
An interesting project- Hank Willis Thomas took ads from years past targeting black audiences, featuring black subjects, removed the branding, revealing the images as they are- showing what they are actually selling.

Dream dress!
So as you know, I read the Sartorialist. Rarely do I feel jealous of someone’s look, but this lady…! Well, suffice it to say I would love to find a dress like that! This is my dream dress. Not sure if I’d rock those shoes, but she pulls it off.
