Kristin Drab for Harper’s Bazaar October issue



Boo George Kristin Drab Harpers Bazaar October 24

This is my favourite autumn editorial so far. Very demure, very…oh never mind!

This is a shoot celebrating the classic gentlewoman tropes of Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking. But I like the minimalist, dishevelled twist.

Photographer Boo George and stylist Cathy Kasterine make the dream team, showing polished blouses, slip dresses and tailoring by Ralph Lauren, Celine and Carven*, accessorised with sculptural Gucci cuffs* as weighty as the De Beers diamonds are delicate.

Glossy leather Miu Miu gloves* and Gucci‘s thigh-high riding boots* add another dimension of youthful nonchalance but the masterstroke is the casting of Kristin Drab with her visible roots, bleached brows and imperfect teeth. Yves would surely approve.

The Go-Gos

“We were influenced by Diana Vreeland when she was the editor of Vogue in the ’60s. It was very futuristic and stylized. And I went from wearing no makeup at all to that black, punk, really heavy eyeliner. That cat eye. It was just a makeup extravaganza. Cheap, cheap make-up and Day-Glo clothes.”
