Photography

Quote of the day




“I get ready like six months beforehand. I edit the clothes (about 90 outfits for each fashion week) I think of what would look good on camera. It’s good to change and be full of surprises, even while staying true to your style…”
Anna Della Russo on getting camera-ready for street–style bloggers, Swide



From the vaults: Tim Walker







Before Tim Walker became famous for his fantastical set-piece shoots, he did lots more of this sort of stuff – funny fashion, often set in the countryside, very British and upbeat. I love fashion shoots like this where the clothes aren’t the focus but the pictures are just so jolly and sweet.

from the vaults: Milla Jovovich



Milla Jovovich by Bob Richardson (father of Terry). This is from a whole set of tear sheets I have kept from various magazines and ad campaigns from the 1990s. Bob Richardson shot campaigns for the Italian brand, Alberto Biani and around the same time shot some similar pictures for Italian Vogue using Milla and Kirsten Owen. The brand’s focus was on androgynous tailoring and almost every picture featured Milla or Kirsten in a hands-deep-in-pockets slouch. Timeless and beautiful.
