Above: You'll find out later. Below: Russian model Natasha Poly in Japanese Vogue, December 2007.
 
Unbelievable.
(Before anyone asks, I'll definitely do some research and find out who designed that dress.
And I do like the contrast with the negative space here.)
Brazilian model Caroline Trentini on Brazilian Vogue. (Note - it appears to say January, but is that really a winter outfit she's wearing? In Brazil, yes.)
Daria Werbowy, Gisele Bundchen, and Kate Moss in a Gloria Vanderbilt ad, 2005.
And the other... Stunning!
The only freeze-frame I could get from the TV spot (apparently there was one) --
Dutch model Doutzen Kroes in French Elle, November 2007.
 
And this. . . is a matter of chastity. . .
Czech model Eva Herzigova in the French edition of Photo magazine, July-August 2004.
Brazilian model Caroline Trentini at Dolce & Gabbana, Fall 2007.
 
 
 
On the left is American model Stephanie Seymour in British Vogue, October 1987, and
on the right is Russian model Sasha Pivovarova at at Dolce & Gabbana, Fall 2007.
Totally awesome. On the right: Canadian model Coco Rocha at Dolce & Gabbana, Fall 2007.
"The only chaste woman is the one who was NEVER chased."
-Spanish proverb (Yes, get on with it)

 

 

American actress Traci Lords, 1987.
 
>> Yes, the timelessness of that hairstyle is indisputable. (To be continued...) :^D <<

~ Style-Alikes #1 - 3 ~

"We thought everyone knew...a lady's not dressed unless her legs are too."
She's wearing TWO pairs of fishnets. . . Relax, ladies.
An ad for stockings for Vogue, July 1956, and Lithuanian model Svetlana Lazareva at Betsey Johnson, Fall 2008.

French model Leah De Wavrin at Hussein Chalayan, Spring 2007, and the cover of Vogue, April 15, 1942.

 

Yes, this is censored o_O. And now the designer himself about this particular collection: "I was looking at different shapes throughout the eras, and I wanted to somehow demonstrate a change, and ultimately I would like to produce clothes with some kind of technology company... I think these are almost prototypes for the ideas for the future for me... The idea that something could also change [for an] occasion was very exciting to me, and I thought it would be amazing if in the future we'd be able to have clothing that could change form depending on the occasion."
If you focus on her face, does it not look like she's holding a plastic version of a Star Wars lightsaber?
Futuristic indeed, this designer is.
(<--I did not just write that, I swear)

You are... GOLD!
From Vogue, June '81 and then Canadian model Daria Werbowy (pr. "Ver-bo-vee") at Hermès, Fall 2007.

Amazing... Thank you.
