GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

If you have traveled to Paris, undoubtedly you have seen or shopped at the Chantal Thomass lingerie boutique. Chantal's landmark store showcases her semi-annual collections, including the gorgeous Fall/Winter pieces shown above. We particularly love that she teamed with famed photographer Bruno Dayan to create the dazzling images at the top of this post. In fact, you can view the 'making of' video on the Chantal Thomass website documenting the photo shoot with Dayan (these videos always make us appreciate the images even more).
We wish we offered Chantal Thomass at Faire Frou Frou again, but sadly it is no longer available in the U.S. Perhaps you will just have to take a trip to Paris to pick up some of the latest pieces...not a bad reason to travel!

Last week we did a post featuring the work of Bruno Dayan. Those pictures featured light and airy pieces (the beautiful pink feather robe and heels!), and in this post we're featuring the other pictures we collected with richer, darker colors. The last post on Dayan received rave reviews...let's see if you like these images just as well! We just love the red corset in the top picture!

While looking up images from the Chantal Thomass website, we were curious who did the photography on her site. We were fortunate to discover the name Bruno Dayan, who happens to be an amazing photographer who uses quite a bit of lingerie in his work! What luck for us!
We just fell in love with his work, as you can see why. In this post are some of his lighter images, and in a future post we will feature some of his photos with darker lingerie.
Admittedly, there isn't a ton of intimate apparel in these pictures, but we definitely get the 'boudoir' vibe from them.

Beautiful bed linens, a silk-covered chaise, handpainted wall murals . . . or simply time, the best luxury of all . . . this was supposed to be last week's weekend send-off, but before long, another week had come and gone . . . hope you had a beautiful time and found a few moments to enjoy little luxuries . . .
