Vintage style heroes: our mothers!

And here Piper has picked her favourite three mums from My Mom, The Style Icon:

Piper: “I love this one for the picture and the story!”

Dasha Oganezov writes about her crush-worthy blonde mom (at left):
“The photo was taken around 1967 in Moscow. At that time, Western music was prohibited in the USSR, you had to go to an underground club or a house party to “do the twist.

“This is one of those parties, at the apartment of the boy who’s dancing with her. The clothes are typical, but it’s worth noting that both the shirt and the skirt were handmade by my grandma.”

 

 

 

Piper: “This mom is the coolest lady in town. I feel like people have been trying to copy her look for years. It’s a different kind of tomboy vintage that im a big fan of.”

Amelia Rambissoon sent in this pic (at right) of her mom in high-waisted jeans, kicks and a vintage Chevy as an accessory in Baltimore in 1984.

 

 

 

 

 

Piper: “How cool is this mom (at left)? She’s my asymetrical hair guru!”

Heather Davidson writes: “My mom, Perley Mae Davidson(who passed away March of 2008), had more hairstyles then I can count. The photo here was taken in the mid to late 60s in one of those iconic photobooths in the Chicago area.

“It’s my favorite hairstyle of hers, and I know people today trying to copy the asymmetrical style she had 40 years ago.”
