~Marie Helvin Style, a 1970s fashion icon!~A Retrospect of disco, haute couture, and beauty!
8:49 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
In the 1970s, a style evolution took place that would rival up & coming fashion icons for years to come. Even today a remarkable presence still exist, and continues to make a come back, whether one notices or not.
This time bubble produced one of the most photographed non-celebrity celebrities, Marie Helvin, who was known for her impeccable taste & fresh beauty. She was the face of everything then, in fact, she was almost in EVERY issue of American, British, and Italian Vogue for a full year plus!
The 1970s was also a visionary time for many designers whom we love today. Ms. Helvin worked & became close friends with such amazing industry greats such as Yves Saint Laurent & Valentino.
She was also a muse of sorts for well-known photographers, Helmut Newton & David Bailey. In fact, she later married Bailey.
This 'think tank' of greats was about originality, creativity, quirky personalities, disco, and love.
Below is a fantastic interview with Ms. Helvin, it is one of my favorites.
I can only imagine the life then!
Do Enjoy!

'Ballooned' clothes are HOT for Spring & Summer 2012!
Choose pieces that fit your style & body type, and don't wear them all at once!
See suggestions below!!
- A ballooned sleeve blouse, like the DVF coral one on the right, looks great with a skinny jean!
- The patterned "bloomers" by D&G go well with peplum top in a neutral color.
- Wearing a balloon dress? Keep accessories light, and the shoes minimalist!
