Steal that style – vintage bride
The introduction of American photographer John Rawlings to Vogue‘s visual team in 1936 was certainly one of Conde Nast’s best strategic moves. At a time when opulence, pretentiousness, and theatrical lighting were prevalent in fashion photography – fueled by the European school led by the British Beaton, the German Horst, and the Russian Hoyningen-Huene – Nast and Vogue’s editor in chief Edna Woolman Chase decided they needed a change of direction and placed their bets on a talented but unknown twenty-four-year Midwestener.

Little Eglantine’s 2009 summer collection
Stephanie Staub, the French designer for luxury flowergirls dresses and page boys outfits just launched Little Eglantine’s 2009 summer collection, visible online at http://www.littleeglantine.com/index.html.
Inspired by French elegance and sense of luxury, the designer harmoniously mixed embroidered and plain taffetas to create the most charming outfits.
“Fabric is very important to me. Once I have sourced the most exquisite embroidered taffetas, I love to play with fabrics and colours to make them harmonise. My next summer collection will feature pastel tones and also, more vibrant and contrasting colours.”
