I'm in with the "in" crowd


The A-list: is group of individuals of the highest level of society, excellence, or eminence regarded as highly desirable guests at upper-class social or cultural events. These are the faces that set the trends and stole the show wherever they went.

Wow! amazing pictures, and so many I've never seen before

Love them! Thanks for having the patience to scan. What a treat.

Milla said...

Oh and I gotta say I particularly love the images from Truman Capote's Black and White Party. Is that Penelope Tree?

proletkult said...

Oh no, the last one is really... hairy!:D Scary

Btw I love the pictures you choose, here it's especally the one of Uschi Obermaier in a tuxedo, which is very hard to find in the internet. So your blog is a perfect source for pictures!;)

Fantastic pictures.Thanks for sharing and appreciate the scanwork. I agree ^ that Mick,Marianne & Delon picture is epic and a rarity.

@wilthomer - the girl with Herman/Peter Noone is Mireille Strasser his French wife of over 40 years now.My mother,who's a friend of Mireille,remembers it was love like at first sight when Peter & Mireille met.Mireille didn't know who he was.

rhianna said...

the picture of kim moon and keith moon is possibly my favourite, i'm lucky enough to have the original picture which i bought from a vintage dealer.

jean said...

@Anonymous - pic 16 is of Charlotte Rampling and maybe american actor Barry Newman.Not sure about him.

I love your blog. I'm 54 and I remember when these fashions, makeup, music, etc. were popular. I remember most of the people as well. It's quite heartening to me to see someone putting these wonderful photos together.

One teeny-weeny request... is it possible for you to name the people in the photos?

STYLE FILE: NYC said...

I love your blog.
I only got about 50% of the people there.
It's amazing to me how these things and people are important and yet, life goes on, history loses track and a new "in" crowd comes along.

The pictures and history are inspiring. Thanks for posting!

Sarah said...

I love the Keith and Anita's picture! :)

Evie said...

That last image is a stunner! Great post, as usual :)

Also - I know the '50s aren't your thing as much, but do you think you could do a James Dean post sometime? Pretty please??
