I was thrilled to open this month's Vogue to find a spread titled "Magnificent Obsession" featuring designer clothes inspired by the 1950's-60's. I'm always happy to see designers pulling from these eras because I don't ever want the details of those eras to fade away even after all the authentic vintage has. The photo shoot stars Ewan Mcgregor and Natalia Vodianora and the photographer was Peter Lingberg. I think it turned out quite beautifully! I also found it interesting how they showed moments of angst between the husband and wife figures...trying to show a peek into real life rather than just showing the happy moments, perhaps.
To purchase a dress similar to the one in the last photo (the classic shirtwaist, dark color, full skirt:), see here
what an amazing photoshoot. I like the "picture perfect" apearance of it all when we all really know what's going on behind the scenes.
ReplyDeletevery cool. the second to last shot with that dress reminds me of one of the dresses they used in the 40s for their vogue cover that I posted on my tumblr yesterday. I wonder if they did that on purpose.
ReplyDeleteI have a Magnificent Obsession dress in my shop, too! The 1954 Douglas Sirk film is wonderfully soap-y and filled with great clothing, if I remember it correctly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful pics, they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the boxy scarlet jacket.
ReplyDeleteCan you supply a link to that one please? :)
