Fashion

I was 12 years old when I first saw the movie Love Story. It was on that rainy summer afternoon that I fell in love with clothes and became obsessed with the style from the late 1960′s early 1970s. Ali MacGraw will forever be my style icon.

A true original, Ali MacGraw, didn’t only represent the late 60s and early 70s Bohemian-meets-American-Prep style: she was one of the people that invented it. Best known for her portrayal of the impossibly stylish Jennifer Cavalleri in the 1970 crying fest The Love Story, Ali began her career as a stylist and assistant editor at Harper’s Bazaar. She soon caught the eye of the legendary Diana Vreeland, and became her assistant at Vogue. Diana and Ali worked on defining American style in the mid 1960s when American fashion designers were not seen as groundbreaking in the least.
