Re: Continental Style 2: Scooters
Cheers Gentlemen!
The suede cardie is one of my fave, my mother's birthday present to my dad in 1966..
Gibson Garden, grazie per le tue gentili parole. La prossima volta che passi da Milano o dintorni fammelo sapere, sarebbe un piacere conversare un po' di persona.
Have a nice day ya all,
Daniele
PS: BTW it's true, there's a red smallframe Vespa in the background of a Take Ivy's photo, and a late 50s Playboy's cover featured a Lambretta.. Continental cool won hearts also beyond the Pond?:-)

Re: Continental Style 2: Scooters
vespa allstates were sold at sears and were modestly popular with all segments of society. popularity waned, oddly enough during the same years as the opec embargo, and most sadly probably ended up at the dump, but they still turn up in unlikely places like dairy barns here and there.my pop's household was probably not a hive of "modernist cool" or " continental style" and they had a little white smallframe.

Re: Continental Style 2: Scooters
Very interested to see from the Saul Bass thread that Tomiskinky (and others) are in the graphics line of business. I introduced seperate threads on scooters and scooter boys quite purposefully. I can see the differences - of course - between Tomiskinky and Daniele and their style and the 'style' of the kind of scooter boy I spied from the car window last week. This thread was supposed to be about Modernism with a capital M if you like: bringing in jazz, Soho, Italy, Godard movies, Bass and Brownjohn, Graham Marsh, loafers, loaves (French stick), Le Monde, beat culture... a dash of everything... Apologies for any misunderstandings...
