I like blue jeans. They're tough and practical. Best of all, a wallet in one of the front pockets stays put. No other trousers seem to offer this absolute assurance. Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 lens on a Nikon D3s at 200 ISO; 1/250th; f/8.

I rediscovered this copy of 'She' magazine dated December, 1966. Capriciously I distorted the photograph in processing. The words are nevertheless legible. The woman in the picture (who had no function to perform in regard to the men's coat under review) now looks even more stricken by something. The magazine gave no credit to the photographer. He or she clearly knew their stuff and maybe couldn't care less about acknowledgement beyond being paid. I should like to see more examples of this photographer's work. 'She' was a British women's monthly magazine that ran for 56 years, from 1955 to September, 2011. having been relaunched in 1988 and revitalised in 2005. It was quite good but the magazine industry is cut-throat. It was unintentional, but it seems to me that the effect of distorting the image has been to make the model look a bit like Victoria Beckham, the former Posh Spice.

Fashion feature in a 1960s magazine. Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs and a Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens. Sixty years ago the photographic style seemed more confident and the creative ideas more diverse and occasionally ambiguous.

Freshly laundered and pressed. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens, thus a field of view equivalent to 42mm.

Her dress needs to be shortened, or the hem will be ragged and dirty in no time. Perhaps she does not care. Nikon D90, Nikon 55-200mm lens.

It was a Tuesday afternoon during August. The sun shone. August is a time for Philosophy and Growing Up, Far more than any other month.

A healthy diet. Keeping in trim. Household economy. Being a blonde and wearing sunglasses. Style icons in a country town. Perhaps you can speculate regarding the other things these typical shoppers enjoy or endure.

Photographed with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens mounted on a Canon EOS 30D via an EOS-M42 adapter. The macro effect was achieved with the addition of a Minolta Close Up No. 1 supplementary lens screwed into the 55mm filter mount. The Per Una brand has been a major success for Marks & Spencer.

Lyme Regis, 2014. Nikon D2Xs and Tokina AT-X 535 Pro DX 50-135mm F2.8 lens.

Felicity Green was a respected fashion writer and had a regular column in the 'Daily Mirror'. This feature is from the paper of 22 October, 1969. I like the triptych design and the photography is stylish. The photographers were John Adrian and Michael James-Ward. The item has a fold which you can see at 'boot level'. Coupled with the fact that this is from an old newspaper, it probably does little justice to the excellence of those photographers of 1969.

Marlborough, Wilts. Pentax Optio S30.

From a fashion magazine of 1967. Photograph photographed using a Nikon D2Xs with a 50mm f/1.4 AF-D Nikkor lens.

The cardigan is named after James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British Army Major General who led the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.

I used a 55-200mm f/4-5.6 G VR zoom lens on a Nikon D90.
