@loverofthepast is one of the currently popular Instagram accounts based on vintage photos of famous stars mostly from the '60s and the '70s such as Jane Birkin, Sharon Tate, Jean Shrimpton and much more. Find out more below.

Hello, can you first tell us a little bit about yourself?

Hey, I'm a 17-year old girl from Germany.

What motivated you to make this account?

The Beatles. It was an account dedicated to The Beatles first. After circa one month I decided to post more than just Beatles stuff and so, it became what is is today. I always wanted to create an account to share my love of various artists and decades.

That sounds great. What made you fall of the Beatles?

A record I got from my father. It was "The Beatles/1967-1970".

And what about the other stars from the past, do you have any other that you admire or more than one perhaps?

Sure! David Bowie, Francoise Hardy, Jane Birkin, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Sharon Tate, Twiggy, Frank Sinatra... The list goes on and on!

Do vintage things and past celebrities influence your personal style in any way? 

Of course! I love to wear the '60s and '70s inspired clothes and hairstyles.

Can you tell a little more about it? Which are your favorite pieces and outfits?

I looove bellbottoms! But also skirts, dresses, berets, hats, and coats are my favorite pieces!

That's great. Where do you find photos of your account?

Pinterest, We Heart It and sometimes Tumblr.

Cool and can you tell us some other interesting Instagram accounts as well?

Those are just a few of my favorites! Every account that I'm following is interesting and their owners are super lovely! 
 

 And if you could go back in time in the '60s or the '70s, who would you choose to be your best friend out of all celebrities back then?

Definitely George Harrison! He was so wise and one of a kind. I'm sure we would have gotten along very well!

That is an interesting choice. And which person would you marry?

If I had the chance - Paul McCartney!

Besides the past, are there any stars you like from modern days?

I really like Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey.

And are there any celebrities from the past that you dislike?

I dislike stars that used their fame to spread racist, homophobic etc. opinions.

Do you have any examples?

There are a lot of people. I'm not sure if you read about the things Brigitte Bardot said. She was an icon back in the days and I admired her and her work so much, but after I read about her islamophobic and racist opinions, I lost my respect for her...


 

I didn't know that... Okay, the last question, do you have any other vintage projects besides this account?

I have an account called @celestial.faces. At first, I wanted to use it as a backup account, but I think I will start to post people I love and admire there.

Great, thank you for letting me interview you.

I have to thank, you!
