A time for color

Sublime use of color in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) starring Catherine Deneuve.
Perfect to brighten the dreary skies of winter. Plus, the film involves "sing talking"!

Ad Play

Researching for new Loup marketing inspiration, these late 1970's Dior ads popped up. The taglines are a little bit of a stretch, but some of the images (especially Jerry Hall riding a blowup shark featured in the Loup FH11 mood board) are pretty amazing.

Goodbye, Carine

Dear Carine Roitfeld, thank you for some of the most expressive and stimulating editorials of all time, you will be missed.

Under There

We've been asked to make tennis shorts for our short little dresses for a while, but we think that these options would be just as cute under the Gathered Skirt Dress (available in Army Green in February) during any activity... Plus it would finally give you a place to wear novelty underwear.

Hot Hits : Women for Sports

In honor of Loup becoming an official sponsor of the Volley Girls at the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships, it seems appropriate to salute women and sports... or at least cool vintage compilation album covers featuring women holding sports equipment.

Happy Hannukah!

Sassy at last

When I heard the news that Tavi Gevinson was in cahoots with Jane Pratt, the editor of Sassy Magazine, to start a new teen magazine, I was thrilled... Almost as much as when I was given the gift of dozens of old Sassy's a few months ago. Sassy was smart, funny and somehow "got" the wallflower teen who stilled loved fashion, boys and MTV when it was actually good.

Here are images from "Twirling", a spread from the November 1994 issue.
More to come...
