it's the age-old question: the beatles or elvis? paul or john?

michelle

we're strictly speaking fashion and style-wise, of course. anything else would be another debate...

jovovich-hawk does 60's laurel canyon

if you've ever been to the silverlake area of los angeles, california, you are probably looking over these looks and wondering what's so special about the collection. jovovich-hawk, ostensibly influenced by southern california's 60's-inspired hippie-folk-rock culture, brings lurel canyon to the masses in march.

i'd like a time machine, so i can go back and live in the 60's

"This is a photo taken in the Summer of 1967 of me wearing one of my favourite Biba dresses. I still remember trying it on in Biba's communal changing room in Kensington Church Street, listening to Sergeant Pepper on the stereo. What an exciting time that was. I particularly loved this dress because it was cut in such a way that it fitted my petite figure perfectly and the halter-neck style looked very flattering. I had never seen a dress like it before and I thought it was absolutely gorgeous!!! I don't remember wearing this dress at any particular occasion, but I did go to a lot of parties with my friends that lovely summer and we often frequented the Café des Artistes in Chelsea and I would certainly have worn it there. When I look at this photo now I think how lucky I was to have been 21 in the Summer of Love." - karen keeble, as told to the v&a museum

ooh la la, france gall
