Stop. Just stop. I can’t with these. They’re just TOO PERFECT. The backlit hair, the makeup, the outfits, the lavender and lamé. God I miss the ’80s. A new book of celebrity photographer Mario Casilli’s decade-defining portraits hits the shelves November 21, with a forward by Joan Collins. From top left: Queen Collins, Morgan Fairchild, Loni Anderson, Joan Van Ark, a sexy Barbra Streisand (SO WRONG), and Stryper superfan Oprah Winfrey. Says the Daily Mail: “It was the decade of Dynasty, Dallas, shoulder pads and excess in all forms. Big was beautiful, greed was good, and beauty was bold. Popular television series’, films and music reflected the 1980s trend for beautiful people living extraordinary lives. And cult photographer Mario Casilli captured those mesmerising subjects at their best, defining forever the look of 80s pop culture through his soft focus lens.” Order your copy here.
