Carine Roitfeld: Le Pin-Up Style

Today’s treat is a glamorous editorial by Carine Roitfeld from 1991, “Le Pin-up Style” which appeared in the January issue of ELLE France that year. Inspired by the work of legendary pin-up artist Alberto Vargas, Carine arranged models Yasmeen Ghauri, Estelle Lefébure, Angie Everhart, and Beri Smither in classic pin-up poses as Mario Testino captured the fantasy on film. I adore the film noir influence, the old-fashioned telephone makes a clever prop and the winged eyeliner with red hot lips and nails is perfection.
