Voyages to India

I stumbled across the Wistful Republic's scans of a 1966 fashion spread in McCall's magazine entitled "Voyage to India." I love the exoticism, the colour, the 60s headwrap, the textures, the clothes. It has such a timeless quality about it that I had to share it.

And then a day later, I was flipping through the June 2008 issue of Australian Vogue and found a fashion spread entitled "Indian Dream". She looks like a bohemian princess slummin' it with the saddhu. I couldn't help comparing these editorials which are separated by more than three decades but set in the same place.
