I am starting this week with a story shot by Mario Sorrenti for the March issue of Vogue Italia. For me this editorial isn’t so much about the model, but the clothes and the light that make me stare and absorb every single detail, almost feel it physically – the rocky little grains of pearls, the frost of lace, the feathery light haze of silk – all blending into the warm glow of velvet skin, creating a sensual dream, a fashion shadow play…

Comme par enchantement is a mysterious shadow play when the clothes dissolve into enchanting silhouettes creating a powerful blend of sensuality and beauty.
As it often happens on Mondays, here is yet another editorial featuring Natalia Vodianova photographed by Mario Sorrenti for the August 2002 issue of Vogue Paris.

Since everyone seems to be happy with regular Natalia-themed posts, let me indulge you again by sharing a story called “Undercover Elements” from the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar US photographed by Mario Sorrenti.

I’ve found this piece of advice in the January issue of Vogue 1973! Yes, I know, it’s been a looooooooooooooong time since that article was published, but this simple tip for achieving beautiful glossy polished hair without using any chemical solutions or heated appliances is so brilliant it must not be forgotten. Perfect for girls with a bob hair-cut or those with long straight hair.
Use a small silk scarf, rub the hair from roots to ends briskly, but gently. The silk will absorb any surface oil or dust, keep stray hairs in place, but won’t disturb the perfect line…
I just love it.
