Vintage Covers: Vogue October 1960, Fall Forecast
A Fall fashion forecast: Camel is the colour of choice for the season, and a simple palette of soft earthy browns suits the approaching cool days of Autumn. Don’t eschew style in favour of practicality though; dress for the season in a classic fur collar and cashmere coat. Fur is always chic, and always in style.

This, my last cover for the month of August and for #myvintagecover, might just be my favourite cover so far! I saw this Vogue October 1960 cover a while ago, and thought that it would be relatively simple to execute, since it mainly consists of a large fur collar. I do happen to have a fur collar, though it is not as luscious as hers is, and the rest of the look relied mainly on the makeup. The makeup for this cover was actually quite quick, since I only did one side of my face. 😉 But, I think the main reason that I like this one so much, is because as terrible as the original picture looked (in need of colour correction and with makeup on only one side!), it is the cover that has turned out most like the original image.
Well, it’s been fun to do so many covers this past month; I wasn’t sure how many I would end up being able to finish. There are only three days left to August (where did the time go!?) so I was glad to squeeze this one in before the end of the challenge. I still plan on continuing with covers here occasionally, as they are just so much fun to do. I also came across so many covers this month that I want to try and recreate, but ran out of time for, so I’ll be trying them out in the future.
If you want to take part in the challenge, there are still a few days left to post your images. And, if you want to post to the instagram tag after August, we won’t stop you 😉

This is amazing! I was just catching up on blog reading and didn’t realise at first that the image was you! You’ve done a great job with the makeup and recreating the details of the original. Well done!

Thank-you Emileigh ♥ It was a rather good idea of Tanith’s to do this as a month long challenge- I’ve enjoyed it and I am so glad to hear that you have too!

Oh my! What a sterling job you’ve done again here. Have Vogue taken note of what you’re doing? Xx

No- Vogue hasn’t taken note. . . but they should take note of all of our covers I think. 🙂 Have you seen the covers in the tag? So much creativity!
Thank-you for your lovely comment Porcelina.
