Favourite Moments in Fashion






It's a personal revelation that I realised as I looked through my collection and snapshots of favourite moments in fashion, that they should revolve around colour and mood as opposed to style and garments.
Grace Kelly on a beach, looking very happy and relaxed, has to be the epitome of summer. Her white bikini is simple and she appears incredibly comfortable, exuding confidence.
It's Christy Turlington's overall expression in this Calvin Klein campaign that resonates her self assurance. The ability to make the setting look warm, while she's in nothing but her intimates is a talent, achieved through her confident posture and assuring glare.
The Ralph Lauren Romance fragrance campaign featured a model couple, and there is a sensitive feel to these shots, with very gentle sensibilities creating a romantic atmosphere, exactly what the fragrance is designed to be.
Collette Dinnigan's sparkling designs were recognised by celebrities such as Halle Berry and Naomi Watts in the early 00's and as were about to embark on the 10's, she's significantly driven Australia's fashion palette onto the world map. Designers such as Sass & Bide and Willow have emerged to grow the Australian Designers presence internationally, but Collette is and always will be the back bone.
I adore the make up colours on Jennifer Hawkins in this image. In some editorial shots, she can be made to look incredibly hard edged, or at the other end of the spectrum, the typical athletic girl next door. These colours soften her overall look and she appears graceful and classic, possibly the softest and most feminine I've ever seen her.
Scrapbook something that you see if you find it interesting. You never know how it could influence you or when and that's the beauty of it.
