FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY: Underwater Dreamland

While doing some research for an upcoming shoot I came across Alexander McQueens Spring 2010 Plato’s Atlantis shoot featuring Alla Kostromicheva. It blew my mind away! 

This may look easy to the untrained eye but a shoot like this takes an enormous amount of energy, skill and photography gear. Not to mention the hard work of the model!

The first set below includes pieces from Versace and Balmain as well. It seems like such a shame to submerge such expensive gowns but the final result is oh-so worth it!

 

Below are some amazing underwater shots as inspiration. Next time you fall into a pool with your silk gown, dont cry, just think about how good you look.

ALL MINE: Happiness comes in Chanel bags!

OH HAPPY DAYS! I have been saving/waiting for this day for almost a decade. The day has finally come.

 Here it comes....

SURPRISE! My first Chanel chain!

I AM IN LOVE...

I have been searching for this necklace for over a year as I already have the rest of the set.

Stay tuned for some more pics wearing it out and about. Oh and for those who are interested in buying one, I picked this one up for about AU $2,000.

BRING IT BACK: Diamonds and Pearls

Prince definitely was on the money when he sang his hit song 'Diamonds & Pearls'. Pearls have been around for so long that they cant be considered a trend. They are A WAY OF LIFE. There has been a movement away from the single neat strand of pearls to scattered pearls, blended with diamonds and other stones and textures for an edgy look. My favourite look is layering a necklaces of different textures for a home made statement piece. I recently even wore a handmade necklace made of pearls mixed together with crystals and feathers. 

Here is a small selection of my pearl necklaces. I think the fact I have not come bored of my cheap pearls warrants an investment in a long layered Chanel piece very soon... watch this space!
