There is a
photograph by Avedon I am slightly obsessed with. I am forever fascinated by Avedon's art and above all his approach to fashion
photography. It blurs the lines between fashion and glamour and art
photography, and in a way it paved the road for all those beautiful and
slightly surreal fashion editorials I grew up with as a child sitting in my
grandparent's tailor shop.
When
Rockabilly Pinup offered me another collab and review for an essential and
elegant black dress, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to pay homage to- I
wanted to bring that slightly surreal and playful feel to what is otherwise a
work of pure, timeless elegance.
It must have
taken us a hundred tries until we got it just right, and the end result is this
picture you see here, not an attempt at a copy, but a tribute.
