I thought this was current photo shoot when I looked at the first photo. It wasn't until I read the blurb at the top that I realized it was legitimately vintage! How interesting that she still looks so current! The gladiator flats, the lace blouse, and Nancy Regan sunglasses (as we now call them). Just a testament that really everything comes back-in-style!

I grew up in New York in the 1960's (and still live here), and the pictures look way too late for 1960, judging by the model's clothing, what I can discern people wearing in the background, and my own memories of the time.

If 1968, definitely, but not 1960, IMO. Something I would be very curious to research.

Otherwise, can anyone place the exact street location? I'd be interested to go there and see it nowadays...

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
