photomagic

if you've experienced an actual editorial shoot, then you understand the power of a photographer. a pretty model, good styling, and a fabulous locale mean very little without some creativity behind the lens. again, searching through cool hunter (can you tell that i find a blog and then go craaazy looking through past posts? my endearing passion, we'll call it.), i was struck by robert jaso's vibrant and evocatively saturated fashion photography. discovering that he works primarily for italian vogue made complete sense, and i was again struck by a longing for the brilliance of all things european vogue. can you imagine if these were the pages we opened up to each month, rather than over-styled celebrities?

prada, my belle

i know i've said this before, but when it comes down to some of the mainstays in longstanding fashion houses, i feel that prada is one of the most innovative. quirky, edgy, artful - prada is constantly in the process of reinventing what's come before. i was searching for images of the house's new book: Prada: Creativity, Modernity, Inspiration, and discovered these pants on Cool Hunter.


i unabashedly adore bellbottoms and would destroy anything to my hands on a pair of these.

and the shoes?


glorious.
