Victoria Magazine May 1994 | Cole Chickering
May is here, and Victoria Magazine is truly giving Mother in this gorgeous 1994 issue. Ghostly pale women wandering shadowy mansions, expensive pastel frocks, piles of lily of the valley, and more straw hats than you could ever hope to hatpin in one springtime - Victoria delivers it all in a fine china teacup. Pinkies up, ladies!
Hang out with me every Sunday for commentary on vintage 80s, 90s, and 2000s magazine advertisements, fashion, culture, food, and kids' stuff.
Do you have a magazine or book I might like? Send it my way and it could be featured in an upcoming video.

Ghostly is such a good word for the photography style. I love the aesthetic but it’s so serene it can feel almost boring or overly quiet…no one is ever doing anything active in any of the photos, or often there’s no one in the picture at all. I do love that there were two photogs for the editorial, one for fashion and another for the floral shots.

A 1 to 1 balance of flowers and people - and they are both equally inert. 🌷👽

Oh you bet it’s on the books 🎁
If only my kid self had known about this magazine back in the early 90s she would've been SO obsessed. The excessive shots of flowers! The fussy lace! The vaguely sapphic energy! As it is I'm still kind of obsessed now; after your last flip-through I actually went and bought a handful of issues off ebay myself 😂 Love your vids as always!

It’s all about the sapphic undercurrents 🌊
RIP Samantha Parkington, you would've loved Victoria Magazine circa 1994 (but seriously, I'd never heard of this magazine until your channel and I love the weird dreamy ghost vibes, glad to know there's more coming!)

I’ve never heard of this magazine but I love the vibe, a lot to aspire to that would translate to contemporary tik tok girls

I loooooved Vanilla Fields as a young teen. It was very affordable; even now it looks like it’s $13 at Walmart.

Does it smell like Vanilla when it's fresh (and not from a 30 year old magazine sample)??

@@ColeChickering I’d say it’s mostly vanilla, but has some lily of the valley and citrus or coconut(?) in there too. Interestingly enough I had that and much more expensive Cool Water Woman growing up and CWW went off a lot a lot faster than VF. Probably a lot of synthetic ingredients or something.
LOVING the Victoria flip throughs Cole! 👒💐🎀

They're having a sale online right now for physical subscriptions. I want to get it because it looks pretty but i feel like the women behind it are really conservative lol

Give it a shot! My opinion: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, so just try to have fun on your own terms. 👒
I’m getting Alyssa Milano from the lady on the cover…

You know, I also thought that too - which is weird because Alyssa and Shannen look nothing alike!
