Poetic Couture

The simplicity of this shoot is beautiful (so are the shoes), the lighting and the photography by David Slijper is gorgeous. Julia Stegner is the model for this editorial for Vogue Nippon Aug 05.

count it all joy said...: These are ALL divine. Black and white is timelessly elegant isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello - I loved your comments. I apologise for not commenting and saying hello earlier - I love it here! The photos, your amazing eye for detail and colour....it's all wonderful....and wonderfully distracting from the images I'm usually surrounded by.....nappies, mashed up Weet-bix, laundry mountains and general kid chaos!

The music is beautiful also. Gosh, I'm really gushing now aren't I - sorry 'bout that - can you tell I don't get out much? Meredith xo.; September 17, 2009 at 11:39 AM
A Gift Wrapped Life said...: Hey....I posted today I will have you know and instructional ones at that! Back to regular schedule. Ok, I was taking my time getting wound back up! No need to send Clive, I got too old while waiting and have no time left after blogging. Another pic would be nice though to help mend my sad heart. He seems to be staying for an extended visit at your place....he must like it there-lol!; September 17, 2009 at 11:46 AM

Simply Colette said...: I can't ween myself from black clothing. It's just to sophisticated, not to mention easy. Do you guys have Black House White Market in Austrailia? All black and white clothes. It's great. No matter how hard I try to pull of this hairstyle...it's one of my faves, I just can't ever get it right! think my head is too flat ;); September 17, 2009 at 12:43 PM

I love black and white, so classic and stylish....love those outsize pearls and the black necklace in the first image, I would definitely wear that. My favourite is the last image which is fabulous....altho the dresses are all gorgeous....I am assuming that the trim figure and cute little boot-tay comes with the clothing ;)

Millie said...: My 2 most favourite colours! Love, love the crisp white cotton shirt in the last pic. I snuck into the 3p.m. screening of The September Issue yesterday & thought of you often. There are definitely some similarities between the amazing Grace C. & yourself DJ, not age I hasten to add, but styling inspiration.
