The wonderful team of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott photographed this editorial for Vogue US 04. The beautiful Natalia Vodianova captured the 50's and 60's feel perfectly in this gorgeous Mediterranean setting. The fashion editor was Grace Coddington.

Pure perfection as usual :) I suddenly feel the need to go on a Med vacay right now! Have a wonderful weekend hon!
every dress is perfection, i want them alllllll :D
Very festive music! Makes the kickoff to the weekend happy and free! And these models are making me think I need a tan... fortunately I can still do that in Florida, while the rest of the U.S. is undergoing winter storms. Is it now warm in Austrailia too? ;)
Have a great weekend hun!

She's so versatile and beautiful. I adore her!
Wow. I love the vintage feel, and she has the most gorgeous eyes! Stunning, as always. xoxo g
And I really felt like a bit of Kylie. Thank you. It certainly takes some style to pull off a gold lame bathing suit. xoxo
OOH, my favorite era for dresses! LOOOOVE the black and white polka dot! The model is gorgeous and so curvy. OMG, those long legs!
So italian style! Natalia always looks so spectacular, yaw!
Natalia is so lovely -- always. I really like her calmness and serene look. Also, that outfit with the light, open top and full, graphic print skirt is to die for! (although many outfits in this post are!)
Thank you also for your comment the other day :)
beautiful! Makes me wish that it was summer where I am.
Wow...I am speechless. I will try...these photos are amazingly stunning! I love the first one the way the light hits her hair, and that pink dress is fantastic! Great post as usual honey. Thanks for visiting today. You always make my day! Kori xoxo

One of each please - delivered to The Hedge pronto! Just send the bill to MOTH, he'll be delighted to pay for such gorgeousness.
Millie ^_^
Bonjour! I love every outfit, I'm a dress girl myself so this is perfect. The lace coat is so gorgeous and that pink satin number - ooh la la! I'm ready to head to the Med for some sunshine. You've done it again, thank you!
Stunning! The whole shoot is just gorgeous...she looks better in each photo. So glamorous and classy.
Just let me start by saying I love your blog! It brightens up my day whenever I visit.
What a great shoot- she reminds me of Lauren Bacall in a number of the shots, and i am unbelievably envious of her amazing tan. I should get myself outside and down to Cronulla beach- I liked finding out that you were a fellow Aussie :)
Dreaming of sun-kissed skin just like hers....
She and this whole series of images are amazingly gorgeous. Pure perfection. The margin for error on that gold swimsuit was HUGE...and yet, she looks incredible. Not a look to try at home without supervision though, I'd suggest. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Meredy xo.
p.s. thanks for lovely words and funny thoughts this week...you make me laugh.
so glam!
Honey, can I please have the outfits in photos 2, 4, & 5?! I adore them all actually...this is another of my favorite posts! This model looks stunning as well and the photoshoot has the perfect mix of sexy, glamour, and beauty. Love it!
xoxoxo

Natalia is amazing. The polka dot dress made my heart skip a bit.:-))) Thank you for sharing this wonderful pictures with us.
Oh my gosh..these are so beautiful...they really harken back to the days when women were glamorous and turned heads. They are all to die for, but I love the skirt with the tulle/chiffon on the bottom!!

Happy Weekend to you as well!!

Two things I love...
The glamorous fashion of the 50's and the mediterranean..

So old Hollywood glamour...love these all today. Gotta love that model. xoxo
Oh.....that gold metallic bathing suit brought back the best sunbathing memories. When I had a killer Gottex gold metallic bikini and a decent shape and darn it! it really looked good.

The model has such pretty facial features, and every time I seem to love a spread, Grace Coddington is behind it!
This post is incredible. Everything about the photos and her look just captures such a vintage feel, up to her hair and makeup. I just can't get over that gold lame bathing suit!
Those pictures are so lovely. It makes me want to grab a camera and get on a plane : ) Thank you for your wonderful creative posts! You make the world a more beautiful place!
Love this shot.. it reminds me of all things Sophia Loren... the black dress in the final shot reminds me of her gold dress in the movie, Houseboat!....love it!
Love these! In the 6th photo down she reminds me Sophia Loren!
Sublimely gorgeous, there is something deeply evocative of the film La Dolce Vita about these glamorous, enchanting images that makes me yearn to board a plane to Italy right this very moment :)
Huge hugs & scores of blissful holiday wishes, darling friend!
