A rare flower

Already a month passed from the day she died and it still feels kind of surreal.
There will be no more new records, never will that beautiful voice sing again.
She was troubled, a tortured soul. But she might have had a bright future ahead of her.
She was half way through, it's sad she didn't make it.
But she will be remembered, already a legend, as all of the others that are gone too soon.
This is a tribute to the one and only Amy Winehouse. The photographs are by Hedi Slimane who really captured her soul in them.

† May she rest in peace †

You probably have seen this already, but still!!!

I rarely get overwhelmed these days by editorials, there's just so much going on, we get spoiled and forget to appreciate it. But when I saw this one, I was just simply blown away.
It's just everything I stand for, dark, edgy, glamourous, mysterious, a bit disturbing, but still classy.
Who would have thought that in technological times like these going to the basics of fasion photography could be the best solution? Well, I always believed in the power of simple black & white pictures. That's where the source lies, it always will.
I can't even describe how much I love Mert's and Marcus's work, for me, they're really the top.
They always succeed to surprise me.
This editorial just focusses on fashion without bragging with eccentric poses, decorations, or tons of high tech retouching and editing. It is what it is, and that's just magnificent.
Off course the amazing models cast represented by Lara, Freja, Mariacarla, Crystal and Daphne, styled by Carine Roitfeld is a dream come true. Crème de la crème!

And I'm not even talking about the hair and MU, let alone the clothes and accessories. Dying a silent death here. I was just thinking how I shouldn't buy anymore new magazines until I don't read all the ones I already bought... Well, I guess I can make an exception for this French Vogue, right?!

I need to have it!

No pictures are so powerful, mysterious and touching as the ones in black and white!
