Fashion Love Affair


wish I could remember when I found these pictures. For some reason 2004 sticks in my head but I could be totally off on that. I do remember  where I was and how my bedroom was laid out. I remember all those little details. I was just starting to get into magazines and I was flipping through some glossy high fashion pages and I saw this photo shoot. I have tried searching the great and mystical google machine but I can't find the editorial these photos belong to. (These pictures I saved at least 4 years ago on my external hard drive and I forget the magic combination of words I put into Google search for them to appear). For some reason I feel like it was Vanity Fair (at about that time I thought that and Vogue were the be all end all of fashion magazines). 

It was the  greatest photoshoot I HAD EVER SEEN. I adored it. I ripped those pages out and they stayed in a purple art box for years. I thought they were worthy of a Queen or a Goddess. I would find them over and over again when I cleaned my room and they have always stuck in the back of my mind. I have never even thought about throwing them out. I still think they are gorgeous. The origionals are still sitting in that exact box in my studio. 

It is funny how some things stick around or stay in your head. I think a lot about these pieces and this shoot when I am designing. They still influence me, almost 10 years later. 

I want to say this was when I started to love fashion, but that isn't the truth. I didn't even think about fashion as a career option until I was 21. I have always loved unique and beautiful photoshoot that look  more like art pieces than magazine editorials. These three pictures were and always will be in my top 5 favourite shoots. I wish I could find the origional (if anyone knows PLEASE TELL ME FOR GOD SAKES!!!). 

I just wanted to share these with you guys!!!! Hope you love them as much as I do!!! 

I feel like this may be a Christian Lacroix...? 



** I do not own these!!! I wish I could give credit but, as I said above, I can't remember what magazine it is from!!! All I know is that Naomi Watts is rocking those dresses
