Retro inspired editorials #8

Michelle Williams by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue US
(oktober 2011)
I love this photoshoot of Michelle Williams by the wonderfull Annie Leibovitz. Williams is portraying Marilyn Monroe in the upcomming movie My Week with Marilyn, and these photoraphs captures Williams as Monroe perfectly. She is styled by Tonne Goodman and is wearing clothes by Donna Karan, Monique Lhuilier, Michael Kors and Ralph Loren. My favorite picture is the one on the sofa. I love the clothes, and it reminds me of one of my favorite pictures of Marilyn (I really love most pictures of her reading and relaxed). I can't wait to see the movie!

Retro inspired editorials #7

Tiiu Kuik by Aneta Barton
(2007)
Fashiongonerogue describes this series as a 20s style pin-up shot. It is not necessary the 20s look we are used to seeing. The hair and makeup is abit softer, and like fashiongonerogues description, soft and feminine is just the right way to describe the series. I love the soft light and focus, and the color scheme, with the warmer bronze and cream colors in some of the shots, and the colder greys and blues in the others. The editorial reminds me of a book I bought in Paris on vintage erotic postcards. Just like those pictures, this shot feels soft, erotic and innocent without being too vulgar.

The Chic and the Cars by Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello
for Vogue Gioiello
(october 2009)
I just love this colorful fashion editorial with its mix of bright colors and pastels. Giovanna Battaglia is the stylist of the shoot and boldly mixes a 50s style with a more edgy and modern look. Take a look at the pictures in full scale for a more pleasant view.

Lara Stone by Mert & Marcus for Vogue US
(September 2010)
Fashion Gone Rogue describes this shoot as classic with a modern twist. I love how comfy the clothes look, how pretty her hair is and all the soft colors.

I'm still reading as much as I can. I will be blogging more when the exams are done. It's been a long time since I've written one of those small movie "reviews", so if anyone is interested, I can make some christmas editons of those.
In the meantime, here are some gorgeous pictures:

Wiola Kowal by Tamer Yilmaz for Marie Claire Turkey
(December 2010)
The pictures are from Fashion Gone Rogue, and they describe the editorial as a story about a retro housewife searching for escape. Reminds me of Betty Draper from Mad Men.
(I reccomend you to look at the full scale pictures)

Heidi Mount in Fashion Takes Flight by Peter Lindbergh for Harper’s Bazaar
(july 2009)
Described as a 1950's shot, but I find it more WW2-ish
