Handmade’s tale

Isn’t this one of those breathtaking photo shoots, the kind that doesn’t come too often anymore? Natalia Vodianova shines in haute couture and these gowns are even more mesmerising up-close, when you can see them much more in detail. But the photos are too artistic not to display them in full spread. Styled by none other than Grace Coddington and lensed by Patrick Demarchelier, this is a fashion tale I want to discover over and over again. Haute couture and tale are words that belong in the same phrase.

    The Dior black and white photo has always been my favourite because it looks almost as if it was taken years and years ago. x

    Haute Couture! There’s nothing more beautiful than haute couture, really! Amazing lace, silk, tailoring, amazing crafting…and a little bit of Patrick Demarchelier, the result is tremendous work of art! Ada, my favorite is the yellow one 😉 Have a day with no storms 😉
