My very own vintage 1950's black pleated tulle skirt photographed by Mario Testino for Love magazine Issue 7 S/S 2012.
It has been worn by Natalia Vodianova and Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and has shared pages with Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Beyonce! Lucky skirt.
One day I will show you the skirt in it's traditional 1950's glory but for now I will let you enjoy it as the fabulous Panos Yiapanis intended.
A very special thanks to Helen Rendell for making use of my weird and wonderful collection of Vintage.
You can see more images from this shoot here. I would highly advice buying this addition of Love as it has some amazing shoots inluding my new favourite ' The Origins Of Monsters' by Tim Walker.
It also has Lindsay Lohan looking like a smokin hot femme fatale, Karen Elson in a Prada archive shoot, a Busby Berkeley style story for Louis Vuitton, and a hauntingly beautiful White story entitled 'Cold Summer'.
Money well spent!
I love the Terry Richardson Lindsay Lohan photoshoot in the current Love issue. Haven't got a copy of the actual magazine yet though, although knowing a Tim Walker shoot is in it makes it an even more likely purchase.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I shoud say the fact that your skirt is getting photographed by Mario Testino is pretty awesome.
