Jackie & The Shrimp

AvaGardner Kungler passed me a pair of dresses yesterday, both called Jackie. The black one is above and I am certain I need not identify who inspired the dresses.  I love that era’s clothing with the simple elegance typified by Jackie Kennedy.  I tried on the the black dress first, loved it and shot the photos for the blog before trying on the second – the Jackie Red which came as a surprise to be because although it was the same cut and style, it was a print – a fabulous pop print that immediately made me want to shoot it too. Not wanting to do the exact same thing twice, I decided to shoot a remix and post them together.

The skirt is from the original Kunglers Jackie dress. I added a sweater from Fleur and a belt from Ornamental Life. Jean Shrimpton was the super-model of the early 60’s. In face, she might rightfully be considered the first international SuperModel – preceding Twiggy by a few years. She was the face of pop fashion and so I decided to style this more for Jean Shrimpton – the Shrimp.

The collar is a beautifully sculptured white with drapes down the back. I added some seamed stockings and shoes from Tesla. Some bracelets from Alyssa Bijoux add some bling.

Breakneck pumps from Shiny Things were my favorite choice for the red print. The Shrimp shocked “Society” by going without stockings – so no stockings for this outfit.

The pillbox hat from Shai Delacroix’s Always the Bridesmaid outfiton a clean French Twist from ETD and simple pearl earrings complete this classic 60’s styling.

The Lola hairstyle from Laqroki would have been a favorite of Jean Shrimpton’s and suits the look perfectly. The Whisper earrings and necklace are also very op art inspired and close the deal on styling this for the Shrimp.
