Vintage treasures, part 2

Vintage treasures

Throwback Thursday: a very young Kate Moss in knitwear

We stumbled across these shots of Kate Moss in the studio this afternoon - one is by the brilliant and much-missed photographer Corinne Day (a hero of mine), the other is from an ancient knitting magazine produced by Rowan Yarns. I doubt they could afford her now... Apparently copies of that magazine are now fetching princely sums on eBay.

Filmspiration: The Edge of Love

I love a bit of vintage knitwear (I think that may be fairly obvious by now!) and while The Edge of Love is hardly the most amazing film I have ever seen, the cardigans and lovely dresses worn by Sienna & Keira were absolutely gorgeous and got me rummaging around for vintage patterns on eBay.

I do not know where this mustard thing has come from (has anyone else got a glut of images of mustardy gold cardis?!) and there are TWO here, but the one I covet most is that 'leaf' patterned one Sienna is wearing. Plus whenever I think of cosy knits my brain automatically drifts off romantically in the direction of blustery walks on the beach with a big 'woolly' (as my grandmother used to call them) and wellies on, so I love the shot of them in the sea.
