Bridal backs


Rooney Mara at her London premiere, in Givenchy Couture with matching Brian Attwood heels. Her dress looked stunning from the back (sadly not so much from the front), but was a beautiful interpretation of some of the lace and back details which we're seeing around.

Sri Lanka design festival

While visiting Sri Lanka for the annual design festival, I was lucky enough to be able to spend a morning at Pinnawala elephant sanctuary...





The experience was truely breathtaking and brought to mind the work of Avedon, and the model Dovima. Two contrasting studies of Dovima were published by Harper’s Bazaar. The photograph of Dovima in black was reprinted many times but the image of Dovima in white was printed only once and the negative no longer exists. “It disappeared mysteriously,” Avedon said. Hopefully we can work to ensure these great creatures also are not lost for eternity.
