Seriously, why editors, photographers and stylists do this? I mean, are they really out of fresh ideas? Or believe that we won’t experience a deja vu moment when we see the results of their creative genius?
Those who follow Fashioned by Love may remember the post about Vogue Paris and Cavalli campaign I talked about a while ago. Now here’s another editorial that made me think of the recent Peter Lindbergh’s story for Vogue Paris combined with Russh photoshoot that featured gorgeous Alessandra Ambrosio.
I just can’t understand why somebody would want to create something that resembles work of a true master that can be easily recognized.
There’s, indeed, some attraction in these photos (I guess it’s the black & white factor again for me), but, unlike Lindbergh’s, they don’t push the right buttons in me – the shell if beautiful, but the soul is missing. Shame…

Such a shame indeed. The lack of originality and photoshopping, two things I really don't get in today's fashion photography. The soul is missing as you beautifully put it, just as it happens in films these days: the cinematography has lost the art factor, as Scorsese says in one interview: "you don't feel that you are there, in the film, anymore, there's something missing." I hope you're having a wonderful weekend, my dear! xo
