'The Fall Classic'/ VOGUE US / October Issue

As Fall is my favourite season, I absolutely love when magazines produce the most beautiful Fall inspired editorials and these stunning photos from Vogue US/October issue naturally caught my eye. I love that even though the pictures are featuring some expensive designer clothes, it's the simple beauty of the picturesque surroundings and the muted styling that make these pictures stand-out to me.  The editorial is effortless and natural.

Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, featuring model Natalia Vodianova and styled by Camilla Nickerson. These are my favourite shots from the editorial.

Playing It Cool

This beautiful shot by Annie Leibovitz, from an editorial entitled 'Playing It Cool' featured in the September issue of Vogue US has fuelled my excitement for my favourite season, Autumn/Winter. Style-wise it's my favourite season as I have mentioned on here before- knitwear, hats, boots, layering, rich colours are all reason why I love it so much. I have an absolute true love and passion for coats, so this picture, as beautiful and striking as it is, really made me wish for Autumn to begin as soon as possible!

Prada Menswear FW14 / James McAvoy

Here's the ad campaign for Prada's Fall/Winter '14/15 menswear collection. Starring the very handsome James McAvoy and photographed by Annie Leibovitz. 

 

 

What a gorgeous campaign. I love the dark, moody and mysterious theme, and that it's fuss free letting the clothes, James and the beautiful photography do all the talking, that is all that is needed for a truly great campaign. The styling is great and this seems to be a more relaxed and natural photography style from Annie, who usually creates very over-the-top, dramatic and overly edited photos, so seeing this fresh, new style from her is promising. Although I like Annie's photography from time to time, it is this less-is-more style from her that is my favourite. As for James, well he's gorgeous and hugely talented and can do no wrong. Big applause for a stunning ad campaign.

Fire Starters

Here are some truly beautiful pictures from an editorial entitled 'Fire Starters' from the August issue of Vogue US. Starring Florence Welch, Domnhall Gleeson, Jessica Chastain & Madison Stubbington, styled by Grace Coddington and photographed by Annie Leibovitz. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks each of these pictures would have made great cover photos too. Pity that an editorial this perfect was just another editorial and not a cover story which would have been great to see Vogue US do something interesting for once and celebrate talented and successful stars and not just choose some celebrities for attention and publicity on their covers that don't really deserve a cover. Oh well, here are my personal favourites from the editorial.
