From the fashion section

Article in which girls talk about their jobs. The girl in the photo apparently worked in Blaises nightclub, which was a regular hangout of Brian Jones, Ossie Clark and many other Swinging London celebs. Shame that in the article she doesn't say anything even remotely interesting.

Ilustrations In Valentine Magazine, 1971

Recently, I got a few issues of Valentine  - a magazine for teenagers from late 1960's/early 1970's. Like every teen magazine, Valentine was full of silly love stories, features on fashion and articles about teen idols. But the distinctive feature of Valentine were their 'comic serials'. Normally I am  not a fan of comics, but these have a great, psychedelic vibe to them and pretty well recreate fashions of the era. They were created by illustrators  Tony Baldwin, Valerie Witton and Chris White. Here I want to show some of the best bits. 

 The girl in the comic above slightly resembles Anna Karina..
