Hey, Red! {Jessica Chastain for Vogue Italia April 2012}
09/04/2012 § 1 Comment
Well, now. I realize I haven’t posted about an editorial in almost three months. Is it because my interest has been elsewhere? Or perhaps because I just haven’t seen anything that has caught my eye? In any event, I have actress Jessica Chastain and Vogue Italia to thank for reviving my love of the editorial with an amazing set of images that hearken back to classic Hollywood and were coincidentally shot in one of my very favorite places in Los Angeles: the Fred Harvey Restaurant in Union Station — an art deco masterpiece that has been closed since 1967.
You can see my photographs from my last visit here.

Please believe me when I say I know I will be married here — and I am not at all like that about weddings. Now all that’s left is to pin down the groom.
Details, details.

Fetch My Walking Stick… {Ralph Lauren Collection Fall/Winter 2012}

So. He opened the show with the Downton Abbey theme song.
Mr. Lauren, can you please exit my brain?
Just kidding! Stay as long as you like. Forever, even.
Please prepare yourself for a mammoth montage of photos from the Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 2012 show. The full looks are amazing — two movements here really: first, classic English countryside, tailored, outrageously layered patterns and a stroke of ocelot genius; and second, a glamorous art deco, jewel-toned luxury that echoes his recent home collection — but you can scoot off to plenty of other places on the internets for that. Here, I’d like to draw your attention to some detail shots by Mr. Marcio Madeira, my favorite runway photographer. The inspiration abounds.
Long story short, I love the collection. But I’m sure you knew that already.
Someone fetch my walking stick.
One more time for good measure…
