So sah die Welt vor mehr als 100 Jahren in Farbe aus.

Ciao carissimi, i miei problemi con internet sono finiti giusto in tempo (si fa per dire) per ripartire con il nostro viaggio nei decenni della moda! Il percorso di oggi si svolge in sella alla bici: un mezzo di trasporto sicuramente meno veloce e più impegnativo del treno, ma perfetto per questa stagione... e per sentirsi un po' parte del Giro d'Italia. I ciclisti in competizione sono appena partiti dalla costa ligure, le nostre muse vintage invece partono da inizio '900 per arrivare agli anni '70. I miei gusti in fatto di moda solitamente iniziano con le flappers degli anni '20, ma stavolta a dare il "la" è una ragazza del 1910. Lei come tante altre viaggiatrici è una bella sconosciuta, ma lungo la pista incroceremo pure alcune celebrità... occhio dunque! ;) Buona pedalata tra gli stili fashion più interessanti del secolo, a presto! PS: incontreremo pure alcuni ometti simpatici, superstilosi... e a volte un po' maliziosi ;) [Colonna sonora: "Pedala pedala (Una ragazza al Giro d'Italia)" - Teresa De Sio] Nancy Carroll (anni '20) Shirley Grey (1933) Vera Ellen (1951) Natalie Wood (anni '50) Audrey Hepburn (1954) Audrey Hepburn (1963) Twiggy (1967) Brigitte Bardot (1970) Inga Whealton (1971) ...e chiudiamo con un'immagine anni '70 pervasa da un romanticismo d'antan, che infatti ricorda curiosamente la prima musa della mia gallery, la ragazza Belle Epoque: Foto di David Hamilton Qual è il vostro outfit vintage da bicicletta preferito?? Come sempre il mio cuore propende per lo stile degli anni '30-'40, ma devo dire che anche le mises in pantaloni capri e ballerine (v. Natalie Wood e Audrey 1954) non sono affatto male!! E molto molto replicabili anche oggi! Ma per me è proprio difficile scegliere, ogni foto mi trasmette qualcosa e lo stesso vale per i look, in tutti trovo qualcosa di accattivante, fosse anche solo per un dettaglio. Qui potete trovare altri esempi di bellezze in bicicletta, moderne ma di ispirazione rétro :) [Fonte di tutte le immagini: Pinterest]

French photographer Peonies 1853 albumen silver print Getty Unknown photographer Pompeii : Amphitheatre 1860 albumen silver print Getty "Circles and right lines limit and close all bodies, and the mortal right-line-circle must conclude and shut up all. There is no antidote against the Opium of time, which temporally considereth all things; Our fathers finde their graves in our short memories, and sadly tell us how we may be buried in our Survivors." Gustave Le Gray The Breaking Wave 1857 albumen silver print Getty Félix Bonfils Temple Reliefs : Karnak 1872 albumen silver print Getty "Grave-stones tell truth scarce forty yeers: Generations passe while some trees stand, and old Families last not three Oakes. To be read by bare inscriptions like many in Gruter, to hope for Eternity by Aenigmatical Epithetes, or first letters of our names, to be studied by Antiquaries, who we were, and have new Names given to us like many of the Mummies, are cold consolations unto the Students of perpetuity, even by everlasting Languages." Eugène Atget Roses c. 1922-23 albumen silver print Getty Louis-Antoine Froissart Flood in Lyon 1856 albumen silver print Getty "To be content that times to come should onely know there was such a man, not caring whether they knew more of him, was a frigid ambition in Cardan: disparaging his horoscopal inclination and judgement of himself, who cares to subsist like Hippocrates' Patients, or Achilles' horses in Homer, under naked nominations, without deserts and noble acts, which are the balsame of our memories, the Entelechia and soul of our subsistences." Alfredo Noack Statue of Girl with Carved Wreath c. 1873 albumen silver print Getty Roger Fenton Still Life 1880 albumen silver print Getty "To be namelesse in worthy deeds exceeds an infamous history. The Canaanitish woman lives more happily without a name, then Herodias with one. And who had not rather have been the good theef, then Pilate?" Gustave Le Gray Tugboat 1857 albumen silver print Getty Félix Bonfils Sphinx : Thebes 1872 albumen silver print Getty "But the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity. Who can but pity the founder of the Pyramids? Herostratus lives that burnt the Temple of Diana, he is almost lost that built it. Time hath spared the Epitaph of Adrian's horse, confounded that of himself. In vain we compute our felicities by the advantage of our good names, since bad have equal durations, and Thersites is like to live as long as Agamemnon." Adolphe Braun Flowers 1860 albumen silver print Getty Camille Silvy English Garden Fête 1864 albumen silver print Getty "Who knows whether the best of men be known? or whether there be not more remarkable persons forgot, then any that stand remembered in the known account of time? Without the favour of the everlasting register the first man had been as unknown as the last, and Methuselah's long life had been his only Chronicle." – passages from Urn Burial by Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) Photographs from collections at the Getty in Los Angeles.
