Blue Snowdon it’s a photographic volume containing a selection of portraits by Lord Snowdon. Born in London in 1930, he married princess Margaret and separated from her in 1978. The publication starts with this line: “You don’t have a green shirt, white is too bright, black too funeral and I like blue” signed by the author; The subjects portrayed are people in the showbiz, fashion and art industry like Jeremy Irons, Calvin Klein, Joe Tilson and of course the British Royal Family feauturing a very young Harry from a photo taken in the year 2000. They are all wearing something blue. The book edited by Acne Studio Stockholm it’s an iconographic collection dedicated to the most classic color in menswear since the 1930s. The tecnique of simplicity ( which is a peculiarity of great photographers) and the use of natural locations, (as they are mostly studio and daylight shootings on location), increase the elegance of the pictures and also our personal perception of the color blue as part of our everyday life. Only one weird ecception: the Gainsbourg and Britt Ekland pictures are in Black and white. David Bowie on the cover of the book.

It has been read and known of how music inspires fashion.We don’t hear as much talking about music being ispired by fashion, even though the bond is more visible. A perfect example are those songs that mention fashion designers: how not to remember Rino Gaetano, which in 1978 already couldn’t stand Cardin, Cartier and Gucci. During the next 20 years, the amount of dance songs idolizing big labels, (Gucci on top of them all) has been countless. At the end of the 70s, the tuscan brand along with Fiorucci, has appeared in one of the most popular hits of those days: “He’s the Greatest Dancer” by Sister Sledge. How many of have noticed another name being mentioned right before the two italian brands, a certain “Halston”? The Halston in question is Roy Halston Frowick (1932-1990) one of the best loved designers, famous since 1961. Since the early 70s his fashion work (exclusively for women) became a sex icon and he bacame the most awaited guest at the Studio 54. Still today, there are plenty of 70s references even in menswear.
