From The Style Examiner:

London-based graphic designers Johnson Banks have worked with fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø to produce a range of 10 stamps that portray 60 years of British fashion.

Live models (as opposed to static fashion mannequins) were used to embody the silhouettes of the various fashion eras and fit perfectly into the surviving existing garments. Following the shoot, the features of the models and background were erased from the images in order to focus the viewer’s gaze upon each of the British fashion designs.

The stamps feature the work produced by fashion designers in the 1940s (Hardy Amies), 1950s (Norman Hartnell), 1960s (from the boutique Granny Takes a Trip and designers Ossie Clark and Tommy Nutter), 1970s (Jean Muir), 1980s (Zandra Rhodes), 1990s (Vivienne Westwood) and the first decade of the twenty-first century (Alexander McQueen and Paul Smith).

Enjoy. And if any of our British readers obtain some of these beauties, send us a post card! See the original story at LOOKBOOKS.com.

Decked in delicately jeweled and lace garments, Crystal Renn (Ford Models) stars in Vogue Japan‘s editorial “Under the Twilight Sky” from the June 2012 issue. Shot by Camilla Akrans, Renn tells a tale of romance and intrigue in looks from designers like Dolce and Gabanna, Hakaan, Balmain and Yves Saint Laurent styled by fashion editor Sissy Vian. Scarlet red lips against a natural face accented with strong brows by MUA Sil Bruinsma (Streeters) along with a retro hairstyle, reminiscent of Betty Paige, by stylist Alain Pichon (Streeters) are the perfect touches to each mystifying look.

You need to remember two things when you receive an invitation to a black tie wedding – gowns and tuxedos. Don’t even think about showing up in a short dress. Use this occasion to wear that elegant gown collecting dust in your closet, or treat yourself to something shiny and new. Strappy, sky-high shoes and a crystal-encrusted clutch are perfect for rounding-out the look.

Fairly self-explanatory in name, a cocktail hour wedding is exactly what it sounds to be. The reception typically begins between 5-7 pm with a cocktail hour and dinner to follow. By all means, wear a gown if it's not too formal, but do feel free to wear a cocktail dress. Nothing so short your ass is hanging out, but sparkles are always welcome and encouraged. Metallic heels and statement earrings are perfect accessories. This look was inspired by

Both the ceremony and reception take place during the morning and afternoon at a daytime wedding, so lighter colors and fabrics, prints and playful accessories are welcome. Dress like you're going to a proper, formal high tea. You can never go wrong with a floral dress, classic shoes and a fun, quirky bag.

And when I say "casual," I mean for a wedding; this is not an opportunity to wear cut-offs and a tank top. These tend to take place outdoors, on the beach or in a park, so dressing for nature is key. Flow-y fabrics look great in the breeze, and wedges won't sink into the ground when you stand. A large sun hat is both stunning and protects you from UV rays.

Pants? What are pants? Nothing you need to be concerned about when sweeping the floor with your booty in da club. A body suit will do, especially one from the pants-less capital of the United States, American Apparel.

You can't be a video ho if your tatas aren't a mere few inches from your face. If you're not blessed with natural perkiness, a push-up bra will do the trick quick. DKNY's Super Glam Push-Up Bra is sexy and does the job right.

Don't go completely bare under those booty shorts - leave a little something to the imagination... a very little something. Philippe Matignon makes the best tights on the market, and these Macrolosange fishnets are muchos comfortable for extreme booty shaking.

Act like a lady when you down that bottle of Armand de Brignac with a sexy pair of black lace opera gloves. Dents makes the perfect pair at a price that won't break the bank.

We love you as a brunette, but sometimes you need to switch it up as a video ho. Take a note from Nicki and go for a little blonde ambition. Leave this Miss Tresses wig long or trim it to match our favorite Barbie girl.

Take skin from so-so to stunning in two minutes flat with this foaming mask that does double-duty as a purifying cleanser. You will love how this green gel foams on contact, removing excess oil and impurities as you rinse, leaving skin visibly softer, more supple and with reduced redness.

Super's 3 minute facial couldn't be easier. Slather on this deliciously sweet scented cream, wait three minutes and wash it off. No drying, no stickiness and it leaves your skin refreshed and baby soft.

This refreshing cream-gel mask is an absolute dream for dehydrated, stressed-out skin. Merely three minutes after applying, your skin will instantly feel firmer and more supple with the help of iris, lily, rose and sesame extracts.

It's microdermabrasion in five minutes, minus the intense irritation and stress to skin. The Instant Turnaround Facial stimulates surface cell turnover to instantly unveil fresher, more vibrant and evenly-toned skin.

If dramatic hydration is what your skin craves, this 5-minute mask delivers it instantly. The Advanced Moisture Complex, containing hyaluronic acid, softens skin and plumps cells while Cucumber and Willowherb extracts reduce redness and soothe sensitive areas. You will be glowing in no time.

The Fall Cool World collection was inspired by exaggerated constructions of femininity in cartoons, female superheros and villains and distorted Disney characters.

Sure it's May, but that doesn't mean spring showers have left the building for good. This chic raincoat with a removable shearling collar will protect you from unexpected May downpours.

This adorable, figure-flattering rain jacket is so light, you'll forget you're wearing it. We love the bright color, hi lo design and water/wind resistant fabric that will get you through the last spring showers with stylish ease.

If cozy is what you're looking for, this 100% cotton, 3 coconut button sweater is exactly what you need. Not only can you wear it five ways, it neatly folds into your bag for those chilly night emergencies.

This double-breasted, belted design flatters the figure while a subtly ruffled collar adds a feminine touch. Available in black, buttercup and safari, there is a color to match every style personality.

It's all in the details when putting on this electric blue blazer. An adorable shawl lapel, hip pockets and lightly padded shoulders will have you feeling warm and looking fly.

Really, Gucci Mane, REALLY? The absolute best idea you could muster for a face tattoo is a talking ice cream cone that shoots out lightening bolts? Fail.

Sigh. Tattoos of faces are always ugly, even when it's Eminem's daughter Hailie. Is it just me, or do the teeth always look crazy?

Classic example of why it's a bad idea to tattoo your significant other permanently on your body. When Jermaine went for a near life-size portrait of then boo the Virgin Janet, I guess he had no doubts about ever leaving her side. Without a laser, she won't leave his either.

We know you love your baby mama Mariah, and a small tribute to her Miminess would have sufficed. I would be very annoyed if I was her and had to look at this every day.

Kurt Cobain and Elvis - brothers for life? Mr. Limp Bizkit thinks so if he dared brand himself with a tat so offensive. My stuff is going limp just looking at this mess.

The face tattoo to end all face tattoos, Mike Tyson's tribal tribute is the ultimate flunk. *Wondering how Mike Tyson fits into the musician category? He starred with Wayne Brady in a video remake of Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step" awhile back.

Is Birdman expecting a helicopter to land on his scalp? If so, I get it.

Who told Jamie Foxx this was a good idea? I just... can't.

If Avril weren't such a wiener, maybe her "Fuck" tattoo wouldn't look so terrible.

Oh the tramp stamp, a surefire way to land yourself on the worst tattoos list. It's people like Cheryl who have forever ruined butterflies for me.

Emily Blunt gives old Hollywood glamour with a bit of 70′s flavor in Vogue Italia’s May 2012 editorial spread. Shot by photographer Francesco Carrozini (Marek and Associates) , inspiration for the spread came from the work of English painter, David Hockney.

Nina Nguyen's beautiful designs are hand-crafted at her Women's Co-Operative in Vietnam, where the artisans are paid higher-than-average wages with full benefits and education for their children. These gorgeous Vortex Earrings are a favorite from her line with those stunning geode stones.

Since the company's inception, Kayu has pledged to give 2% of each sale to a charity they care about. Split between Unite for Sight and Awareness Cambodia, you can feel good about buying an ultra-cool accessory from this socially-aware brand. We love how sleek this hand-carved wood and shell clutch looks for day or night.

Out of Print celebrates the world’s great stories, often out of print, through fashion. And when you snag one of their vintage-chic totes, t-shirts or even The Great Gatsby iPhone case, Out of Print donates a book to a community in need through Books For Africa.

Everyone is stacking their bracelets high on the arm these days, even mom. So why not gift her one with meaning behind it? All profits from the Logo Stud Bracelet go to the Tory Burch Foundation, committed to providing economic opportunities to women and their families in the United States.

When designer Teong Kay immigrated to the United States in the late 60s with his wife Gigi and 1-year-old son, he carried a mere $35 in his pocket. He took an entry-level position in fashion and quickly began learning about the industry. Fast-forward a few years, and Kay was both a boutique owner and started his own successful lines, Pave and St. Romei, both of which could be found at Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks. Most recently, Teong and Gigi launched their contemporary jewelry line, Charlene K, named after the couple’s 10-year-old daughter. The pieces are both classic and trendy, perfect for the woman who looks for a chic statement when accessorizing. The collection features gold, sterling silver, rose gold and 14k gold vermeil metal tones along with rare gemstones. If you’re near Newport Beach this weekend, don’t miss the Charlene K Mother’ Day Trunk Show at Bloomingdale’s May 11, 12 and 13.

Summer booty shaking ain't summer booty shaking without a good pair of hot pants. Rihanna's stylist went the solid color route in Rude Boy, but we are in love with this Sequined Mex Tex pair from ASOS. And the bright colors are so in sync with the vid.

Leopard boots are an absolute must for every video ho, especially if you want to channel RiRi's look. And who can we turn to besides Christian Louboutin for the sexiest pair on the market?

Layer them on, girl, because Rihanna is blinged-out. For starters, check out this Big Links Chain from Betsey Johnson. Then add them by the handful until you can barely lift your neck.

Throw on a huge, fabulous pair of earrings and add a shiny gold ear cuff for good measure. Rihanna wanted to take flight, and you can too with this gold-tone, angel wing version.

Rihanna's makeup is super fierce in "Rude Boy," especially this fiery pink eye she's rocking. To get the look, choose a bright, rosy shadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock. Sweep the hue from the inner corner of your eye past the outer corner for a cat eye effect. Finish with thick eyeliner on top and bottom lash lines and black mascara.

Comprised of five fragrances, each a different bloom from the original illustration, the Flora Collection is as youthful and contemporary as it is classic. “Creating The Flora Garden collection allowed me to express the depth of emotions of every woman,” Giannini said. “Each fragrance is distinct, yet together all the scents embody the beauty and allure of this muse.”

We have fallen in love with these beautiful fragrances, and you will too. There is one for your every mood.

Diamonds are a mom's best friend, and a Real Housewife can never have too much bling. Give her something to brag about, like this timeless necklace from Spanish luxury jewelry brand Carrera y Carrera. So opulent, it's not available online.

A Real Housewife is nothing without tits in her face, whether fake or real. She probably wears-out her push-up bras weekly, so buy her one in every color. She'll love how this OnGossamer bra takes her up one cup size and then some.

There's no gift that keeps on giving the whole year through like a package of Botox injections. Spa Week is the perfect place to check for a spa near you, and Lunaris Medspa & Weight Loss Center has great packages if you're in the L.A. area.

"Put it in my vein! Right there!" Real Housewives are going to act drunk and disorderly no matter what they drink, so why not support fellow alkie Ramona Singer by purchasing a bottle or case of her fine Pinot Grigio? Maybe throw in a helmet for when the weave-pulling, table-flipping fights ensue.

We all know the Housewives are obsessed with their toy pups, so your mom probably is too. What to buy for the dog that has everything? A 2.7 carat hand-set diamond dog collar is the obvious answer - your mom might even try to steal it for herself.

With summer on the horizon, long weekend getaways are a must for leaving the city to decompress. Help dad travel in style with this modern, understated carryall, perfect for toting his max-out and relax essentials.

Not only does this lovely lilac pocket square have dapper dad appeal, he can use it to chicly dry his eyes when you make him proud.

Everyone loves a new fragrance, especially when it smells this grand. Treat dad to Hermes this year - it's the gift that keeps on giving.

After using this Korean herbal oil for few days, your dad will have no idea how his skincare routine was once complete without. Ginseng oil helps restore the skin for an age-defying effect while camellia oil's antioxidant properties create a clear, radiant complexion.

Every dad needs a little R&R, and giving that gift can be extra special this year. Refresh Body makes house calls, so he doesn't even have to change out of his robe to enjoy some stress relief.

This smooth yet rich formula hides even the darkest of circles after a late night on the town. Dab, don't drag, a small amount under eyes for that "I'm wide awake" look in an instant.

To be worn under or over makeup, this amazingly silky formula does exactly what it says by eliminating skin imperfections and illuminating the complexion. I apply in between foundation and powder in the morning and anytime my makeup needs a refresher throughout the day.

It's easy to get away with little makeup in the summer, especially when you use a sheer, luxurious bronzer like Dolce & Gabbana Glow. Use a few swipes of powder-finish foundation before sweeping this onto cheeks, nose, chin and forehead.

Forget everything you once knew about highlighters because this sheer powder delivers the best golden glow. Sweep from the lash line to the brow bone, add eyeliner, mascara and voila - your makeup looks perfect in 60 seconds.

Not only does this lightweight miracle spray add instant shine and moisture, it acts as a sunscreen to protect your coif from UV damage. A sunscreen and styling spray in one - what's not to love?

1. Go shopping for vintage picture frames that match the aesthetic of your room and/or accessory closet. Use nails or pins to string necklaces and bracelets across the frames. Keep similar colors and metals together for quick and easy access.

2. Take a note from your childhood dressing table and admit it’s time to resurrect the earring tree. But don’t worry, the modern versions of this sometimes tacky jewelry organizer are much cooler. We’re suckers for Urban Outfitters’ home department and loving this Spinning Bird Jewelry Stand.

3. Looking for a quick, easy and no frills way to access your scarves? Buy a pack of plastic shower curtain rings and clip them along the bottom bar of a hanger. String one scarf through each ring and hang it in your closet. Scarves remain visible, wrinkle-free and ready for wear.

4. A hat rack is classically stylish way to both display and keep your hats tidy. Spring for a vintage version if your aesthetic calls for it.

5. Ahh shoes, you can never have too many. And the good news is, there are tons of ways to store shoes in a small space. If you have a deep closet, hanging door organizers are a dream. If under your bed is where extra space exists, grab one or two containers made to dwell there.

How do you keep your accessory closet organized? Let us know in the comments.

You'll be the most colorful gal at the derby in this stunning floral dress from Alice + Olivia. We love the rich hues, perfect for the transition from spring to summer.

The girls of Madison Harding know good shoes, which is why we love this two-tone platform wedge. Perfect for cheering on your feet or sitting back with a cocktail.

The Kentucky Derby is nothing without the elaborate hats involved, but something simple and pretty like this pink and white piece looks just as stunning if it's more your speed.

Get your equestrian on with a little edge thrown in for good measure. We love the tiny silver studs, tasseled chain and unbelievable price of this cool accessory.

Add a little elegance and jockey flare to your derby day look with this charming silk scarf. We are loving the colors and horse bit print.

How adorable is this teeny leather accessory? Wear it alone or stacked alongside your favorites.

Tiny pyramid studs add a fun edge to this ultimately elegant sterling silver and 18K gold bracelet, adorned with Lagos' famous Caviar beading.

Shield your eyes from the sun (and the sun from your hangover) with these oversized, three-tone gradient sunnies.

What's a mint julep without a classy silver cup from which to drink it? This set of 12 vintage julep cups is just what your party needs for that real southern feel.

A corset is an absolute necessity for a pin-up girl, especially a style that laces up the back. We love how the boning in this Classic Corset from Agent Provocateur gives the ultimate hourglass shape.

In most full-body photographs, you'll notice Bettie wore thigh highs with back seams almost exclusively. You won't want to skip out on this sexy, vintage look, so go for one of our favorite pairs a la Philippe Matignon.

We love this seductive twist on the classic opera glove - what better way to grasp a whip than with leather running from the fingertips to up above the elbows? This stunning pair from Aspinal of London is made with the finest Nappa leather.

Bettie Page knew how to seduce with a look, but even she liked to pick up an S&M toy in her photographs every once in awhile. Whether your poison is whips, chains or handcuffs, something like this Silver Tip Riding Crop by Kiki de Montparnasse will add a playful touch to your look.

A pin-up girl without red lipstick is like a martini without the olives, and we can't have none of that. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone best, but may we suggest MAC Lipstick in Lady Bug for a classic feel.

1. Investing in velvet slimline hangers is just about the best thing you can do when it comes to closet organization. Not only do they take up about half the space of regular hangers, they are flocked so clothing doesn’t slip and fall to the floor. Plus, you will love how uniform they look. Real Simple sells them in a pack of 50, definitely the best deal out there.

2. Organize your closet by garment type. For example, keep dresses all together and further break them down into style: shirt dresses, sundresses, cocktail dresses, evening gowns… get the drift? Do this for every clothing category, and you’ll always know where each and every piece is.

3. Utilize all of your closet space, even if the top shelf seems like a pain in the ass to reach. This is especially important in a city like New York where space is built vertically instead of horizontally. A folding step stool will give you a boost and fits neatly into a tight space.

4. Ahh shoes, you can never have too many. And the good news is, there are tons of ways to store shoes in a small space. If you have a deep closet, hanging door organizers are a dream. If under your bed is where extra space exists, grab one or two containers made to dwell there.

5. Belt hangers prevent accessory clutter and don’t take up a lot of space on the rack. Also, if you have limited drawer space, hanging tank tops from these little organizers saves more room than you think.

After studying interior design in her native Ireland, Louise O’Leary realized her true creative calling was coming from the world of fashion design. So the story goes, she traveled to the United States and went to school in Boston, learning about the business and perfecting her craft. When she returned home, she began crafting handbags out of silk, cotton and linen and sold them at Cows Lane Market, creating a buzz that put her in brick and mortar stores both locally and abroad. Now all Louloubelle bags are created from the finest, ethically-sourced Tuscan leather in an Italian atelier, with limited-edition runs of 100 pieces per style to keep the line exclusive. We have fallen in love with Louloubelle, and we know you will too after taking one look at these gorgeous handbags.

How can you win a Louloubelle bag of your own, this stunning LouLou Violet Clutch to be exact? Head over to the brand’s Facebook page, LIKE it and tell us in the comments why ethically-sourced products and materials are important to your lifestyle. The most thoughtful commenter will be carrying this piece around all summer long. Good luck.

To learn more about Louise O’Leary and Louloubelle, visit the brand website and follow her on Twitter @louloubellebags. Questions about the contest? Ask me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs. This contest is open to residents of the United States only. 

1. If you haven’t worn it in a year, give it up, minus a few exceptions. If it was mom’s, grandma’s or has another kind of cool vintage value, keeping it around could pay-off in the long run. But if it just doesn’t fit correctly, it’s time to part ways.

2. For every new piece of clothing/handbag/pair of shoes you purchase, give something away. It will save room, and your wardrobe will feel constantly refreshed.

3. Pay attention to a garment’s lifespan. When items begin to pill, fade or rip beyond repair, it’s time to let go. Sift through your closet and donate “expired” clothing – it will make you feel good both inside and out.

4. Have a clothing swap party with friends. Bring the items that no longer suit your taste –  guaranteed one of your friends has had his or her eye on it for some time. And chances are, you’ll get something you’ve been coveting as well.

5. Keep clothing that fits your style and the rest of your wardrobe, and toss the pieces that only work with one look. It’s good to have a FEW crazy pieces, but it’s more important to invest in those that work with many looks if your space is limited.

Messy Closet

Brigitte makes the tuxedo shirt look très sexy. You'll love this version for it's luxurious silk/cotton hand and sheer, playful nature.

Channel her effortless, French style with black and white polka dots 'round your neck. Tie into a bow, and it's the only accessory you'll need.

Bardot's long, bodacious locks are easy to recreate, even if you don't have a natural wave. Prep before blow drying with a style primer and then set your hair with hot rollers. Brush out the curls and tease at your crown for extra volume.

Brigitte always rocked a kohl-lined eye and thick black eyelashes. Use an eyeshadow palette of lighter pinks and neutrals before applying Benefit's namesake liner. Finish with two coats of black mascara.

Perfect your pout just like the French bombshell with a nude lipstick that adds warmth to your skin tone. We've dubbed this Dolce & Gabbana shade the "miracle nude" because it looks great on everyone and doesn't have that chalky white "i look dead" effect.

How long have you been working as an agent? How did you get started in the industry?
I have been working at Women for the past five years. The opportunity presented itself when I was inbetween jobs, in search of a new career path. A good friend of mine was an agent at Women and invited me in to meet the team and discuss a possible opening. The core philosophies of the agency and its overall history really drove me to want to learn more about the biz. I did as much research as possible beforehand, and the rest is history. All went well, and I’ve been here ever since.

Women Management has one of the most impressive model client lists in the business, it must be dynamic to work with these girls. Do you have a favorite aspect of your job, something you love doing time and again?
It is a complete honor to be a part of the Women team and work with some of the most talented models and agents in industry. I must say, I am continuously inspired by my job and the chance to build a career that is successful and fulfilling. The possibilities are endless and the paths are all different. But with the right team and support, anything and everything is possible. We have such a strong core at Women, it makes the job that much more amazing.

Is there a specific campaign you worked on that particularly stands out in your mind as a favorite?
The Tom Ford campaign is memorable and confirmation that he is a legend and one of my favorite designers. Second to that has to be booking Daria Strokous in the film Contagion.

Can you talk about any exciting projects you have coming up with your clients at Women?
We are in the middle of campaign season, so I can’t reveal too much. You’ll just have to wait and see….
