I’ve always thought of this story from the October issue of the Italian Vogue 2002 as one of the most perfect editorials to publish at Christmas and yet up until now I only used a couple of shots.
Whether you adore Natalia Vodianova or Elle von Unwerth, tend to lose yourself on pages of Doctor Zhivago that inspired these shots or, like me, feel nostalgic about beautiful Russian winter, The Splendid Allure is here for you to enjoy.

Oh, this is such a perfect pictorial for this time of year! I opened last year's December with this editorial on my blog. So it was Doctor Zhivago that inspired this story after all. I thought so, and said so, even if I couldn't find any reference at the time.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a precious editorial! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of Natalia Vodianova because she's naturally beautiful but she also looks great when representing such magnificent shootings.
I agree with you, this has to be one of the best winter editorials ever!

Oh, this is such a insanely cool photo shoot, I love the effect of the snow inside the mansion, it has such an eerie look to it! (I love the photograph of her looking out through the frosted window, she has such a gorgeous face and it's perfectly framed in that shot.)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful editorial!

These dresses are gorgous and so perfect for winter. I agree that some of the editorial poses are a little ridiculous, but I'm still loving it anyways!

ReplyDeleteI've never seen this editorial before, it's beautiful! I'm not Natalia's biggest fan but I think she looks amazing here xxx
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I have also published this editorial on my blog last week and I though about you, how much you like Natalia. For me, the house without the snow was kind of Great Expectation mode.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day :*
