Daydreaming: Fashion 1969 Across The Universe

Imagine the following. Late 1960s, gorgeous models moving in slow motion, cutting edge fashion, the city pulse, pans around various locations in what looks like ~~a European city in either northern Italy or Germany~~ Place de la Concorde in Paris. Everything accompanied to beautiful dreamy strings, do-do vocals and a groovy beat with a phaser effect. The song is Across the Universe performed by Sounds Galactic (John Keating) from the 1971 album An Astromusical Odyssey. Hope this will start off your week in a great way! (Via)

The sad thing is that I am old enough to remember 1969 and that kind of futuristic/metalic/abrupt style WAS the thing. The fashion in the video is truly a score. Thanks for posting it.

What’s so sad about that? You should be happy that you got to experience the 60s in person Charles. I arrived 20 years too late, bummer.

That was a very cool (and trippy!) video ! Definitely made my day. On a side note, the whole video was taken place de la Concorde in Paris. The architecture is very memorable (and I was there this afternoon!).

Of course, why didn’t I guess Paris right away! Maybe it was the snowy weather, for some reason it doesn’t feel like it would ever snow in Paris. You’ve been in Paris for a while now Royalton, when are you leaving and what are you doing there?

I’ve been working there for almost a year now, but I’m gonna leave very soon (in 10 days) to the Emirates. Never been there yet, have you been to Dubai or Abu Dhabi ? Take Care.

No I have not been to the Emirates yet, neither have I been to Paris – but I have seen other parts of France. Any chance you’ll go north some time soon?

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s. We mainly focus on the design, architecture and the lifestyle of the happy-go-lucky and space-age-living mentality of that era – but also on the music and movies that takes you back to happier times. Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
