Paolo Roversi said that he treats fashion photography like a portraitist, because it’s the atmosphere and the mood of a portrait which bring clothes to life; that the designer is the composer of the music, and the photographer plays the instrument — he is the interpreter of the piece. When I look at his work, that makes perfect sense. And when Natalia Vodianova is the model, donning spring’s standout white pieces, the result is nothing short of beguiling.

Love all the white on her!
Beautiful photos, I love white.
I am still clad head-to-toe in chunky black wool to keep the mud and chill at bay so this was just the kind of refreshing thing I wanted to see this morning. Those white wide-legged trousers are absolutely gasp-worthy.
Yes, those trousers are what I have in my mind for the perfect pair of white pants.
I am for the Chloé and Stella McCartney lace dresses, so perfect! Where is the summer, Ada? 😛
PS: Some like it hot is also my favorite comedy with Marilyn and I have a crush for Tony Curtis, so this movie really “caught” me 😉
I don’t know if it’s my favourite Marilyn Monroe comedy (have you seen her opposite Lawrence Olivier in The Prince and the Showgirl? I love her in that one!), but it sure is one of the best comedies ever. It’s Billy Wilder after all. I’m a big fan of his movies, comedy or not.
Stunning photographs…Paolo Roversi says the eyes are the most important part of the body for him…and it shows in his photos, they mesmerise…
Oh, I so agree with you about the pants 😉

I’m such a fan of Paolo Roversi. It’s so true, I never thought of it before but I’ve always felt I was looking at a portait. He’s pure genius!
I saw this shot on the Net a Porter homepage and immediately thought how stunning it was. The grey background is perfection and Natalia looks incredibly ethereal xx
Beautiful photoshoot! I love that sheer white Gucci dress on her, she looks heavenly!
I’ve long been a fan of Paolo Roversi’s distinct yet romantic style and it lends itself quite well to this photo series.

p.s. I emailed you a few hours ago–I’ll check back via fb and see if you got it.
I love the overlay tone of these images, it is so striking with the white dresses. Speaking of dresses, amazing! I don’t know which is my favorite . . . maybe the first one, maybe the long lace one. They are all beautiful!
Simply love The Edit magazine! You see that there is an experienced fashion editor behind the new concept and I’m curious to see if other fashion outlets (like Moda Operandi) will follow the NAP approach…
She never loses her elegance.
What a gorgeous shoot! I love the desaturated processing and the stunning lighting. Roversi is so many people’s favorite, he is a classic unto himself.
Hope you are well and having a lovely week. Rain and gloom here but that’s typical for February. 🙂

Gorgeous images from Paolo Roversi. I love his technique and style. That first Chloe dress could possibly find it’s way in my closet I think:) She’s so youthful and beautiful (!) x
She always looks stunning
have a wonderful week. Smile loads.
