Asia collection

 


For my European eyes it's sometimes hard to realise the borderlines between the far away eastern countries. And the search engines seem to have the same problem time by time and jump from country to country without warning. So here are some artefacts from Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and maybe Japan


The woman above is a singer named Zheng Guizhong ( 鄭貴中 ).





A cover of the Malaysian magazine Filem & Fesyen from 1976 with a woman wearing a blue jean vest: 



The next woman is a Malaysian actress and named Normah Yuzie and appeared in some Malaysian movies of the middle 1970s. I don't know, if this is a still from one of her movies or a promotion picture:



Ren Yexiang on  a photo from 1982:



I can't remember, where I found this pictures, but it looks like a still from a Asian music show.






Next vinyl cover seems to be from Hong Kong singer Susanna Kwan關菊英  ), year 1977. 




Hong Kong singer Liza Wang (  汪明荃  ) on her 1975 vinyl album:




Someone from Taiwan, when I wrote it down in the right way:






Yes, she wears a vest, but is it a denim vest?




And at the end  Li Qian Hui ( 李芊慧 )  1978 with a red denim vest.






Tina Charles

 



We saw British singer Tina Charles with a denim vest before (below), but it wasn't the only blue jean vest she appeared with on a Vinyl cover (above). Found in the WWW




Michael Hansen und die Nancies

 


German Singer Michael Hansen and his Nancies. And sometimes the Nancies wore vests, sometimes denim vests. Found in the WWW

nyc in italy

 



Vintage or not vintage, that's the question. A cute young woman from NYC posted a picture taken in Italy on analog film with great result. This photo has a beautiful vintage look. 




Elsa Martinelli

 



Italian actress Elsa Martinelli with denim vest and blue jeans in the 1970s. Found in the WWW




And another picture of her with the same outfit, taken by Umberto Pizzi and showing her together with Willy Rizzo and Robertino Rossellini.
