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 catwalk #8


Ulyana Sergeenko

(fall/winter 2011/2012)

I came across this designer on Nora Alexa's blog some days ago, and I just had to take a closer look at her design. These photographs may not have been taken on a catwalk, but the concept is still the same. I prefer seeing the collection in this setting, and it is only fitting since the designer is a photographer (I would highly recommend you to take a look at her photos). This is her first collection, and she describes the look as "Soviet Vogue in the 1950s". I have to say that I adore the hair, the makeup, the shoes, the colors, and how she has mixed lighter and heavier fabrics. The collection has a retro and edgy feel, while being delicate at the same time. This is something I would love to wear this fall! I had a hard time choosing which looks to show you, so this is almost the entire collection (beside a few pieces that I didn't like). I do think my favorites are no 1, 4, 6, 13, 15, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26 and 28 (in other words: quite many). Which ones are your favorites?
