Praha.. A city has my heart Since 2003, full of memories The first visit, I was an art student The city of puppets The city of puppet makers It is heartbreaking how we lose the heritage in the hands of capitalism. Less colorful without the puppets but has more tourists now. I remember we used to sit on the streets, talking, drawing..was so clean I remember how we used to spend hours in the puppet shops trying to choose the one between hundreds.. The city of handcraft.. full of nice cafes and restaurants now with good food. Prag This time we add another special memory in our history 23 years, more than 20 visits for me.. and still I am walking around the city holding my heart in my hands.. Prague The city has my heart🤍 🎈
From the Worst Dressed list in 1996 to front row at a Versace show in 1997. Fuck yeah, that’s Courtney Love. But her interest in fashion went way back, long before the red carpets. In the 80s, her then-boyfriend’s mother, Bernadene, worked in Paramount’s costume department. She had costumed Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest (1981), and teenage Courtney would visit the set, developing a habit of rescuing antique pieces Bernadene had been asked to dispose of. “She spent a lot of time with me there. She was fascinated by the clothes and so excited when she found something genuine,” Bernadene recalled in ‘02. Courtney explained that her job involved throwing out clothes with dry rot: “Of course, I didn’t throw them out. I wore them every night. I was the best-dressed girl in Hollywood. I was wearing Lauren Bacall’s shoes, Grace Kelly’s dresses, and Frances Farmer’s hats.” Despite becoming a subculture fashion icon in the mid-90s for her kinderwh*re style, by January ‘96 Courtney had landed on fashion critic Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed list (v questionable). At the NYC Film Critics awards on January 5, ‘97, she won Best Supporting Actress and confessed in her speech that she “had never won anything but Worst Dressed. So this is nice.” Then things took a turn. Courtney got the “Vogue makeover” and the fashion industry SAT UP. Suddenly some of the biggest names in fashion were courting her, desperate to dress her: Versace, Valentino, Prada, Dior, Fendi and Givenchy, to name a few. Most succeeded, as these slides show. After choosing Versace for the Oscars in March (that white dress had debuted on the Paris runway just 8 weeks earlier), she was invited to sit front row at Versace’s New York show the following month. “My very first fashion show!” she shouted to the peasants behind her. She told reporters: “I’ve been so sucked into fashion. It’s strange. My mother ran the first store in Oregon that sold Birkenstocks. So you can understand my beauty problem. I grew up surrounded by sandals.” Swipe through for Courtney’s most iconic high-fashion and ready-to-wear looks, alongside their original runway appearances. #courtneylove #fashion #versace #90s #couture
