Vinspiration: Vintage Vogue magazine covers

Vintage + Inspiration = "Vinspiration"

The following images were reproduced in a 2002 calendar I received for Christmas 2001 and hung on my wall until the end of that year. I fell in love with a handful of the images (and had a hard time turning to the next month on those months). The images became part of my creative inspiration files.


April 1, 1953

What inspires me about the image above:
the brilliant shade of red
the lighting
the composition of the shot


May 15, 1936

What inspires me about the image above:
the "ballet slipper" pink background
the simplicity of the styling
the lines of the composition


July 1, 1936

What inspires me about the image above:
the brilliant shade of red
the contrast of the color palette
the lighting


July 1, 1953

What inspires me about the image above:
the fluid motion captured in the shot
the styling of having the model wearing only white
the framing of the composition


December 15, 1950

What inspires me about the image above:
the "technicolor" red
the creative lettering created with the ribbon
having the model hold a card with the handwritten date on it

NOTE: In an effort to downsize and organize my studio, I've been going through some of my clipping files and scanning the images, so I can send the original paper to recycling. I'm posting the images here for my reference and for pinning on Pinterest.
