My early '70s Anjelica Huston phase is ongoing. It was inevitable after the Elsa Peretti phase, although I initially thought I was veering more towards '70s Paloma Picasso. The new copy of Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel (more on that later) I've been flicking through gives another view on the magic  triangle of Vreeland/Avedon/Huston - those pictures are still so inspiring, in a way that no modern editorial is - to me - and you know I'm not usually all about everything being vintage/retro. But damn did they like putting her in fur - that's the reason I was hesitant to post these pictures that have been languishing on my desktop for ages, as I do not condone the wearing of it. That and the hour and a half it took me to find all the credits. (Put credits, people, credits!)

Wow, these are just stunning. And I'm with you on the fur issue - but they are still beautiful.

No , I don't like fur coats , at all . Apart from the very real animal welfare concerns , there's something rather spooky about all those skins just lying inert .

Doesn't Angelica Huston have amazing bones .... impossible to take a bad photograph of her !
