My parents moved in college. Painfully, one Summer I had to go through all my adolescent memorabilia and clean house. I had years and years of fashion magazines and my mom was serious about downsizing seeing as how I didn't even have a bedroom to put my stuff in (boo).
My ADD went into full effect when I was cleaning out and I spent hours flipping through past issues of Vogue, W, Bazaar, The Face, ELLE and whatever else I consumed during my years of angst. Alas, fashion was/is my salvation so I could not part with these images. I decided to put my favorite ads and editorials in binders to preserve them.
Once in a while I flip through the binders to admire the pages of fashion circa 1990-2000. When supermodels reigned, Liz Tilberis was the Editor of Bazaar and grunge gave way to minimalism. Oh look, there's Diane Kruger modeling for Emanuel Ungaro before she was an actress, looking sultry as always. And Chloe Sevigny, right around her Kids debut, modeling for Miu Miu. The ever-evolving Drew also looking wonderfully alternative in a Miu Miu ad. Interesting how all three budding stars are Fab favorites.
Celebrity models are nothing new, but this is when it was.

Neat! Is that really Diane tho? I agree that it looks like her and at first glance I did think it was her, but when I really look at the face it kind of looks a little different than her. Maybe because she was younger.
1I totally remember those Drew miu miu adds....I have colages that I made at my house at my parents of different models as a teen and still love to check them out!
2I have kept every VOGUE magazine from the past 3 years so that I can go back and look at them and remember when! I love old fashion ads....
3My sister has old Jane magazines with Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich on the covers, long before they hit the movie screen. They're both really baby faced!
4I feel so bad for you Fab, I absolutely HATE to get rid of magazines. Actually, last weekend I found a box of my old ones my mom had rounded up behind my back! Needless to say, I was pissed and put them all back in my room.
5I really need to do that with all of my magazines, I hate doing it though, especially to the really nice mags. And I want to recycle since I'm sort of a recycle freak, but I can't seem to find a place to do so where I live.
