GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY: Lily Donaldson

Erotica, Vogue Paris

Vogue Paris, photos by Steven Klein, model Lily Donaldson

When erotica is presented in a high-fashion setting it tends to make the whole concept much more mainstream. Take one part couture clothing, mix it with a blindfold and add a pair of stockings an you've got erotica! Not so bad. This is certainly a trend we're seeing within our own business, with the prominence of brands such as Lascivious, Bordelle and Maison Close, and in particular with accessories such as blindfolds, cuffs & riding crops.

These photos were taken by Steven Klein for Vogue Paris, and you can see the full editorial here.

Lunch with my sister and was reminded of a summer spent in the south of France, swimming in fascinating sea caves where the water hovered between an amazing shade of green and blue . . .

{fallen leaves}

It has been a little overcast for the past few days, and today the sun shone warmly and brightly, taking a bit of the briskness out of the Autumn winds laden with fallen leaves.

And there's nothing like warm mustard tones and pretty flowery patterns to lift the gloom on those dreary days . . .

“ . . . in the picturesque streets of the old French Concession, the splendid gardens of the former British Legation . . .” Pirelli pays homage to China, with its 2008 Calendar shot entirely in Shanghai by one of the best portrait and fashion photographers, Patrick Demarchelier.
