Before the internet was a repository of every image imaginable (when I was in high school), I had a small collection of fashion stills I'd stare at over and over. One came from the book Making Faces by makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin (if you were a teenager in the 90's, you'll know what I'm talking about). The look was " The Biba," and featured Kate Moss with smokey eyes, dark lips, wild curls, and a headscarf. I loved everything about it.

Another was a photo of Marilyn Monroe sitting in a stairwell in fishnets, heels and glass beads, her peasant blouse slipping off one shoulder. I'm not sure if it's from a film or not, and it's certainly not among her iconic photos, but it's one of my favorites. I love the styling, candor, and pure joy in that shot. 

This outfit, though not a direct recreation, is a nod to both photographs. A little 50's glam, a little 60's romance, some 70's-inspired clogs, and a whole lotta hair.
