//55/ Dress: In Back of the Real 01





In Back of the Real
Publication: Another Magazine Spring/Summer 2006
Photography: Stephen Shore
Styling: Venetia Scott
Model: Jessica Stam
//I finally have a scanner, so here is my first attempt... I love this All-American, distinctly middle-class atmosphere with shrunken clothing and a general disregard for trends (or social guidelines for that matter)...the smaller the better and pretty much anything goes (those shorts barely cover anything). 

//I find there lies something fun and adventurous in embracing trashiness every now and then and I have discovered that sometimes you can achieve a certain edginess by buying a size to small (the same applies to buying a size or two too large...). My favourite item out of these photographs would have to be the last dress...or maybe those ridiculously tiny shorts?

//53/ Dress: Footwear

Tory Burch and Topshop

Topshop

Christian Dior boots

Peace Corps
Publication: Glamour Mexico January 2011
Photograph: Hans Neumann
Stylist: Joseph Episcopo
Models: Kristen & Valeria


//Yes okay so Glamour magazine would not usually qualify as a source of inspiration, but I just happen to love military-punk-influenced boots and after cropping the images down to the important bits, they are passable. The Topshop ones are great, though perhaps lacking in authenticity. The last ones are my favourites...

//52/ Dress: Abbey Lee Berlin




Abbey Lee Berlin
Publication: POP Spring 2010

Stylist: Tamara Rothstein

Model: Abbey Lee Kershaw
//The result of a fusion between one of the most beautiful girls -Abbey Lee- and one of my favourite places -Berlin- can only be a success. Other than the model's obscene beauty (it certainly diverts the attention off the clothing), I find the styling excellent too. The clothing is androgynous, but interesting and of quality. I especially like the perfect-fit, simple-cut shirt in the last image...
