Fashion history through DIY culture
Stella Tennant turns 50 today. In a Bauhaus-inspired, mid-’90s editorial, the British supermodel wears a minimalist trench coat made from a Vogue pattern.
Tennant’s trench is view C of Vogue 9345, made up in cotton twill from B&J Fabrics and, as always, “edited by Vogue.”
Happy 50th, Ms. Tennant!
Jennifer Connelly turned 50 this weekend.
Before she starred in films like Labyrinth (1986) and A Beautiful Mind (2001), Connelly was a child model. As confirmed in a contemporary children’s magazine, she played Princess Leia on McCall’s official Star Wars pattern.
Connelly can be seen on a handful of McCall’s patterns, as well as one or two Little Vogues from the early 1980s.
Happy birthday, Ms. Connelly!
