"FAINT, FAINT, IF ANY
EYEBROWS..."
...is one of my favorite Diana Vreeland memos.
And yet recently, I've become more and more interested in thick, but well-shaped brows. As a swimwear designer, how important is matching the arch of the eyebrows to the shape of the bikini top? I think very important. The two should speak to each other like siblings in bunk beds.
Here my fit model turns around to look at me, right after I told an off-color joke. Don't worry, she smiled a second later. Look how thick her eyebrows are! Facial architecture worthy of a pritzker.
THICK, THICK, BUT SHAPELY
EYEBROWS

met charles james a few years before he died. he was living at the chelsea hotel.
pretty crazy scene. an ancient dog with no bladder, his hair dyed shoe polish black, lots of 'boys' hanging out.
but it was history, and the clothes were breathtaking...
love your weblog.
