Magazine Clippings that were on my wall when I was a teenager

 The internet existed, but it wasn't for fashion or celebrities yet. Mainly 'chat rooms' lol.

Fashion Magazines were where you were able to see style.

These images are BURNED into my brain after having been taped to my bedroom wall for years in my youth. When I find them again I get so excited and recall their details intimately. They're a time machine for me. Here are some that I have found online.

W Magazine October 2000 

(Stephanie Seymour on the cover)

model: Guinevere van Seenus photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, later known as Inez and Vinoodh, the Dutch-American fashion photographer duo. They later photographed the promotional images for Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album, and directed her Applause music video in 2013.

The one on the Right above and Left below were pulled out & taped to my wall in highschool.

I must have stared at them a thousand times. The model is 24 y/o & I was 15. 

GUCCI S/S 2001 campaign

A year later Inez & Vinoodh shot Kate Moss for this one, the images from which I remember surprisingly well. I think for female sex symbols to have short hair was a big deal at the time:

Giving credit where it is desired, these were found at: www.scannedfashionworld.com

Versace menswear campaign, 1998

Featuring Courtney Love, shot by Bruce Weber

Kudos to everyone for allowing this to happen. I am so grateful to have Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland as role models when I was 12!

 

This shot is like the white-woman-in-her-thirties version of Lil Kim's 1996 squatting photo. 

(Courtney was 34 years old here)

Yes, it was on my wall along with most of the others from this shoot.

Versace Women's S/S 1998 campaign

Courtney Love again, shot by Richard Avedon.

This one is harder to find. I had these on the wall + one in a stretchy, short lilac dress.

I cannot for the life of me find that shot online in a good format.

Miu Miu S/S 1995 campaign

Featuring Drew Barrymore, shot by Ellen Von Unwerth

Drew & Courtney were a public duo at this point, holding hands at events together. 

Drew was 20 years old here.

Drew also did a F/W 1995 Miu Miu campaign with the same photographer which I thought was a wasted opportunity, but I did still have a photo from it on the wall, just because of Drew:

Can you Imagine selecting This image from a photo shoot with Drew? yawn

Two years prior Drew had done a 1993 GUESS ad campaign which was also on my wall.

Photographed by Wayne Maser

I am only including what was up on the wall!

This is a personalized nostalgic pursuit!

L'Oreal makeup campaigns 1998

When Canada first really found out about Milla Jovovich! Rouge Pulpe lipstick!

I remember the corresponding TV commercials for it!

And the below campaign really made an impression as well. She was 23 at the time.

And, of course, Calvin Klein campaigns

CK One perfume 2 page ad

Shot by Steven Meisel in 1994

Who could forget Christy Turlington!!

1999 ad

CK Be perfume ad

Kate Moss by Richard Avedon, 1996

And last but not least:

the Gucci Envy perfume ad, 2000

Selecting Runway Outfits for my "Fashion Tarot Reading" video

 

In January 2026 I launched my Tarot / metaphysical YouTube channel called @Rosereddchannel

URL:  https://www.youtube.com/@Rosereddchannel

My favourite video to film so far was what I call "Work of Art Tarot" which has the viewer select a work of art out of 4 that I show onscreen, and receive tarot guidance associated with that art piece.

Last night I was realizing that it is a no brainer to replicate this reading with my first love: Fashion.

Concept: Show the viewer 4 runway outfits and receive an associated tarot reading.

So here I am selecting the outfits for the upcoming video. Join me.

To do this I was perusing my old blog posts here & found one dedicated to how much I adored A.F. Vandevorst's Spring 2018 collection. So I thought I'd revisit it in this video! Wheee!

Some options from this AMAZING collection are below.

 ^ I freakin' Love this one ahh ^

"The A.F. Vandevorst Spring 2018 (Couture) collection was designed by the brand's founders, Belgian designers An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx, as a retrospective celebrating their 20th anniversary, featuring archival pieces styled with modern touches and a special capsule collaboration with stylist B. Åkerlund"

The whole thing is quite Margiela + Viviene Westwood + Gaultier, no?

(3 of my favourite houses)

I want to choose looks that could represent an Archetype to the collective brain, 

i.e. the Trickster, the Wise person, the Seductress / Goddess, 

Outlaw / Outcast, Hero, Villain, Guardian / Nurse / Mother, Artist, Child

++++

🌹 My Selection from this A.F. Vandevorst 2018 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

She is a Business version of Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & I think will speak to a select crowd.

+++

The Next designer / fashion house on the roster is:

Vetements - Fall 2015

VETEMENTS launched in 2014 as a Swiss-French fashion house founded by Georgian fashion designers and brothers Demna and Guram Gvasalia. The brand experienced quick success, with Demna being hired to Balenciaga after only 3 collections. Since 2025, Demna is the creative director of Gucci. Prior to Gucci, for a decade he was creative director of Balenciaga.

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Vetements 2015 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

To me she looks like a Hero / Rebel combo, & I want one of these in each of my Fashion Tarot videos!

So we've got Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & Hero / Rebel archetypes covered.

Archetypes still to pick from: the Wise man/woman, the Goddess / Seductress, 

the Villain, Mother, & Child

++++

Next up we have:

Dries Van Noten - spring 2013

An ah-mazing designer. Glad I thought to include his work in the video.

*In March 2024, Van Noten announced his retirement from his namesake label after 38 years. 

His final collection was Menswear Spring/Summer 2025*

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Dries Van Noten 2013 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

To me this looks suits the Goddess / Mother archtype.

So we've got Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & Hero / Rebel + Goddess / Mother archetypes.

Archetypes still to pick from: 

the Wise man/woman, the Villain, Mother, & Child

 One more to go...

++++

Next up we have:

Fendi - Fall 2012

Fendi in 2012 was designed by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, serving as Creative Director, 

with Silvia Venturini Fendi

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Fendi 2012 collection to feature in the video is.....🌹 

And I'll be using it as the Wise Woman / Sage archetype because she's a touch elven / spritely.

Thanks for joining me in the selection process & check out my channel if you're into tarot, dream analysis, or anything mystical, below. This fashion should be posted there in February 2026.
