GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . while the worlds of décor and fashion often collide here, every once in a while, the intermingling of fashion and art, such as the glimpses of of paolo roversi's ethereal, painterly work, and now, michele gastel's photographic still life, naturalistico, an artful arrangement of fashion accessories and everyday objects, resulting quiet captures of beautiful moments in time . . .

Recently came across this unusual and unusually beautiful arrangement of baby flowering kale {above} and was reminded of a Swedish florist who created wonderful wreathes of fruits and vegetables . . .

Amazingly creative wreathes made of everyday {edible} objects such as artichokes, Brussels sprouts and fallen apples that, after careful arrangement, become anything but ordinary, and add a charming twist to festive tradition.
