Summer of Love
May 23, 2008 by Morgan
Send to a Friend
What do you get when you cross the brothers Thornley (of U.S. Royalty - and self-styled, no less) with four beautiful girls and a whole lot of feathers and tulle? Our unapolagetically large “Summer of Love” fashion spread, of course. Spring’s sheer trend combines magically with all things bohemian; bursts of print and leather or metal accessories will keep even the floatiest of outfits firmly on the ground. We gleaned inspiration everywhere from Kime Buzzelli’s The Moldy Doily to Citizen’s Band and the Manson girls, so please! Get excited for summer frolicking, and enjoy:

The guys in US Royalty actually look like a band. I wish I could rock a huge beard like that.

May 23, 2008 at 10:03 am= wowed
May 23, 2008 at 10:40 amNice work as always from all involved. I am split between Alexandra looking up with that great headpiece or the ring around the rosey shot. Killer.
May 23, 2008 at 11:22 am“Dee Wong” (snicker) I’ve got de Wang.
Holy fuck I’m juvenile.
May 23, 2008 at 11:47 am“US Royalty deserves a grammy for rock style alone.”

May 23, 2008 at 3:01 pmI wanna know the secret.
May 23, 2008 at 3:50 pmwhere do you get such wonderful headpieces?
May 23, 2008 at 3:51 pmmarkers+paper= magic head feathers
May 23, 2008 at 4:54 pmheadpieces = posterboard, marker, and leather from the craft store, and the other ones are headbands, roses, and ribbons!
May 23, 2008 at 4:56 pmGreat job by all involved. I had seen these earlier on Hatnim’s blog & wondered what was up.
May 23, 2008 at 5:22 pmwhere is the ring Frodo?
May 23, 2008 at 8:42 pm!! much fun (as always) working with amazing stylist, Morgan, and mood projector, Svetlana !! hugs & kisses to all the beauties who bared the drizzle. xoxo.
May 24, 2008 at 1:25 ami didn’t ask how they were made
or what they were made of
that’s previous obvious
i like the person who does them and the style
i’m sure if i tried to make them, they wouldn’t come out that well
i would sure like to see a d.i.y. of the headpieces, especially the feathered one. like with a pattern of the feathers. that would be excellent.
May 25, 2008 at 1:47 pmmy sentiments exactly
