Old Hollywood New Hollywood

Everyone who knows me cannot help but notice my adoration of Old Hollywood -- the glamor, the style, the wit, the charm, the polish, THE CLOTHES.  I grew up watching black and white films and feeling sure that once I turned of age I would enter a world of civilized magic where I could wear a different Adrian costume everyday! 

I cannot help but be completely charmed when modern stars embrace Old Hollywood glamor....here are a few favorites!

 

Celebrating model Isabeli Fontana

Today I will be celebrating Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana.  She has a lush, womanly, Mediterranean-style beauty that is just arresting, reminiscent of the supermodels, of classic Hollywood stars like Sophia Loren and Ava Gardner.

The modern trend for models has been for very young looking, very thin, anonymous girls, who look relatively interchangeable, like convenient clotheshangers in a time of famine.  Why do we as women gravitate towards magazines and fashion shows filled with these girls, so young, so skeletal, so lost-looking? 

 What I love about Isabeli is her charisma and her truly mature beauty, her elegant carnality.  Many of her fashion shoots have a powerful, intelligent, cinematic, very sexy quality that I just adore.
