A Dream of Versailles


Bonjour my friends! I am of course a huge fan of the very talented Mr. Karl Lagerfeld. I love his designs, his vision, his creativity, and his photography. I have many times swooned over his perfect editorial pages and his ads (for example his gorgeous photos for the Dom Perignon ads). However, this must be my favorite!
This photo shoot by the world-famous couturier takes place on the grounds of one of my favorite locales...Versailles. I can't imagine a more breath taking backdrop than the gardens of Versailles for any photo.

The shoot was inspired by the outrageous and fashionable Marie~Antoinette and is just beautiful.

Models: Jessica Stam and Snejana Onopka.


I love this one...

This one reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face

I do believe that the next time I visit I shall dress in couture and commission a hat from my local millinery designer, feathers and all! A dream, I know...:)
All photos taken by Karl Lagerfeld and published in the Harper's Bazaar Romania

    When I rounded the corner and stepped into the world of Versailles, my heart stopped. And for some strange reason I felt like I had been there before!Lately that is all I have been thinking about so your post today reminds me to make another trip a priority, soon. Gorgeous photo of model on top of huge planter, these photographers...so creative. Everyone should wear couture and hats when they visit Versailles, great plan!

    I wish that is how all tourists would visit Versailles, instead of in jeans, tshirts and tennis shoes! When I make it there next year I know I will wear something somewhat more fashionable than that!

    After looking at these ultra-thin models I'm thinking about leaving the sugar out of my coffee this morning! Hi Judith! Look!!!! I'm actually up early today! We're usually meeting each other across cyber space in the nighttime hours. I'm just blown away by the fact that Karl Lagerfeld does his own photography. He's certainly had years of being around the best photographer's in the business to learn from, so why not! These photos are smashing. Have a great weekend girlfriend!
