A chance this could be #1970s but more likely #1980s as shoulder pads very exaggerated. Has such disco diva vamp glamour. So I mixed a bit of vampire and disco as inspiration with a contemporary character! It's in pure silk and by CACHÉ another fab American label #vintagefashion
Everlasting Love! This thread will take you back to 'Swinging Sixties' with some #vintagefashion items #1960s. First one c 1968 , year of the song by 'Love Affair' this coat by UK brand started 1791, famed for their cotton #1950s dresses. this #Mod #maxi coat in wool & sheepskin
This one is a very sophisticated early #1960s brown velvet 2 piece that was at some point revamped with a 'psychedelic' lining. Did Emily rob mum's closet and upcycle, or did mommy take a trip? #VintageFashion It will have certainly moved to early Pink Floyd....

This beautiful petite coat is made in fine mohair with fab sheen, velvet trim inc wing cuffs, & dates from early #1960s. Reminded me of a 60s air hostess coat (Pan Am had beige some points) I once had, hence theme of the video! #vintagefashion

🧵Abalonia: the island nation that never was.
Cortes Bank lays 100 miles off the coast of #California. It's rich with abalone and rises nearly to the ocean surface.
In 1966 a group of investors tried to sink a freighter on it and claim it as the new nation of Abalonia. #1960s

Lying 100 miles offshore, Cortes Bank sits in international waters- outside the jurisdiction of the USA.
The group planned to establish a cannery, a runway- even a casino.
They would get rich harvesting the bounty of Cortes Bank in their new island nation!

They brought a mothballed World War II freighter named the Jalisco out of storage in #SanFrancisco Bay and had her towed out to Cortes Bank.
Many investors had put their life savings into the project- and even mortgaged their houses.

In 1972 #AmarJawanJyoti was buit 'under' India gate's arch to honour only 1971's war soldiers. But No #NationalWarMemorial
