Gah!!! I love it. What else is there to say?!
Categories: Celebrities, In MagazinesSaw her recently in Inception, and was delighted to discover this starlet often rocks a vintage style on the red carpet. And as the face of Dior, she has more Galliano in her wardrobe than most – enviable, indeed. A few snaps (more to come), and below Marion in one of the Lady Dior short films.

I just signed up for Dita’s mailing list, since after posting a few pics of her the other day, it occurred to me that I would like to see her perform live more often, and maybe her mailing list had her tour schedule in it. So anyway, I’m on the list now, and ooh err, the emails you get are full of pretty pictures! Here’s a few that have glided into my inbox…
I’m watching Mad Men season 3 via iTunes right now, and Joan Holloway (now Joan Harris, I suppose) never ceases to astound me with her out-of-this-world beauty. Partly down to the natural va-va voom of actress Christina Hendricks, but equally to Mad Men’s costume, hair and makeup department. Actually, I haven’t really seen any photos of Christina Hendricks on the red carpet that I liked overly much. The late 50s, early 60s silhouette suits her body shape so well (those curves, for god’s sake!), but frankly modern styles make her look chubby. If only she would just have the Mad Men stylists dress her for the galas as well! Ah, maybe I’m just too attached to the character…
Hmm, haven’t posted up any Dita recently…
Not often that the quirky Lady Gaga should wear something that fits into the aesthetic realm of SwingFashionista, but she does put her own twist on these vintage style dainties. In the pink number she looks something like a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume, that might bite you if you get too close…

“The luxe collection will roll out at the beginning of February at Saks’ Beverly Hills and Fifth Avenue stores, with colors inspired by vivid blues from the Mediterranean, the dark burgundy shade of dahlia (Gabbana’s favorite flower), and gold and black from Stromboli. As for the packaging, it captures Dolce & Gabbana’s deluxe style with shiny gold tones and curved edges. A long time coming, Dolce & Gabbana Makeup will feature rose-scented lipstick ($30) at the heart of the line, along with a peppery mascara ($28). Besides bronzing powder, lip gloss, eye and lip pencils, and blush, expect to see eye shadow duos ($36), nail lacquer ($20), and powder foundation ($59), too.”

Here is a close up of her fabulous finger waves!
I’m not quite sure why Emma Watson has become a fashion darling, she just seems so very young to me. Not that she’s not very pretty, I just think perhaps she needs to grow into her looks. But anyway, they certainly glammed her up for this shoot in Italian Vogue. The rest of the looks were kind of baroque Cinderella meets Lord of the Rings, but these two I like very much. That sheer blue Christian Dior dress just keeps popping up on this blog (here and here).
Anne Hathaway corseted up for her cover shoot in GQ UK, March 2010. If only they had curled her hair…
Hahaha, better late than never! Here are my Swing Fashionista picks from the last Academy Awards red carpet, plus a few from the Vanity Fair Oscars party…
Fiery-haired Karen Elson looking like a silver screen goddess for the St. John Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign. Wow, that hair!!
Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900 – 1968) was a seminal fashion photographer of the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in Russian to Baltic German and American parents and spent his working life in France, England and the United States.
George Hoyningen-Huene, Lee Miller, originally uploaded by Gatochy.
During the Russian Revolution the Hoyningen-Huenes fled to first London and later Paris. By 1925 George had already worked his way up to chief of photography of the French Vogue. In 1931 he met Horst, the future photographer, who became his lover and frequent mode and traveled to England with him that winter. While there, they visited photographer Cecil Beaton, who was working for the British edition of Vogue. In 1931, Horst began his association with Vogue, publishing his first photograph in the French edition of Vogue in November of that year.
In 1935 Hoyningen-Huene moved to New York where he did most of his work for Harpar’s Bazaar. He published two art books on Greece and Egypt before relocating to Hollywood, where he earned his wedge by shooting glamorous portraits for the film industry. Beyond fashion, he was a master portraitist as well from Hollywood stars to other celebrities.
