Bone structure as destinyBone structure as destiny

I'm been staring at those 80's issue of Vanity magazine, the Italian publication that was a contemporary (and an influence) on those English style bibles like The Face, ID and Blitz. The illustrated cover that had a strange kind of portrait realism to them are like a time warp twist on the hyper-real photo-illustustrations that face us on covers and in ads these days. Love the emotion caught in these sketches, exactly the thing missing in an over-computerized face.

80s Emotion

Great post. The guy in the cover on the right reminds me of the late, great Kevyn Aucoin.

Vanity Magazine

thanks for posting this. I've been looking all over to find some images from these mags that I used to buy in the late 80's. Too bad it stopped around 89 or so... THey were so cool.
