Marriage made in heaven. Fashion photography in an art form. Linda Evangelista photographed by Peter Lindbergh for the December issue of Vogue Italia 1989. One of those perfect moments that made me fall in love with fashion.

“There are clothes which keep rejuvenating themselves instead of getting worn out.”
Roberto Juarroz
Happy to report – being there, got a poster.
On a serious note, I have been really looking forward to the Little black jacket exhibition and as soon as it was opened jumped on a train to London.
It was truly special to see moody dim silent rooms filled with gorgeous images of fashion and music royalty dressed in Chanel, styled by Carine Roitfeld and photographed by Karl Lagerfeld who made one the early 20s century classic piece look modern and incredibly versatile. I snapped some of my favourites with an iphone – I wasn’t at all prepared to be allowed to photograph, so the proper camera was left behind, a mistake that I will never ever make again.
Luckily, the style of the photography somewhat compensated the quality of the iphone images, so here are a few to share.
If you are in London, do visit Saatchi gallery. The entry is free and you also get a poster to keep as a memory. The exhibition is open until 28th October.

I found this documentary last weekend after a series of attempts to get the actual video. Truly precious, the movie is a story filmed during a fashion season while cameras are following Christy Turlington in New York, Milan and Paris capturing her life both on the catwalk and during a few seldom moments of peace and quiet. Enjoy and savour.
P.S. You may notice that part 7 is missing here. Unfortunately, I cannot watch or use it in the UK, however you may be able to see it directly on youtube – just use “watch it on youtube” button after you finish part 6.

I really liked it how W described the idea behind this editorial published in March 1995: “Crossing classic concept with edgy currency… The domain of clothes that don’t argue with reality.” Beautiful foreword, Linda captured in black & white by Craig McDean – it was definitely my kind of fashion story.

Every Monday morning, breakfast and all the other usual activities done, I finally give myself a minute (or more likely half an hour) to finally relax in front of my laptop, cup of green tea steaming beside me, little pupster sleeping in my lap like a little baby, fashion magazine archives folder opened… I never know which editorial I am going to choose, it’s a mood thing, the inner feeling that develops from the moment I wake up and look outside. It’s never the same, so I am glad I’ve got quite a selection of beautiful images to play with.
Today is beautiful, bright, airy, fresh and positively summery. I wish we could take a trip to the seaside and get dissolved in a cloud of sunlight sprinkled with a crystal sea salt mist.

So did I get the title right to grab your attention? Today’s post was inspired by our on-going bathroom renovation project and my love for beautiful fashion editorials. I combined the two and came up with a small collection of images where bathrooms became a background for some of the most gorgeous fashion models.
