Let's take a blog mental trip to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. A real trip would be nice, but ummm yeah anyway! hahaha Blogging is escapism for me (that's why I enjoy doing it as a hobby). It allows you to see beautiful places, cultures, people and things. You know you have a FABULOUS photographer, when they mentally transport you to a place you've never seen, heard or been to before AND make you FEEL like you're actually there! You can feel the energy, excitement and emotions coming from each and every picture! That's what I felt when I saw this photoshoot!
Model
Lais Ribeiro is lensed by photographer Michael Roberts for the February Issue of
L'Officiel Netherlands Magazine. Stylist Monica Pillosio dons Lais in Chanel, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Versace, Isabel Marant, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, Stella McCartney, Dior, Kenzo, Burberry Prorsum and Victoria Beckham. This photoshoot is absolutely awesome. Makes me wanna go to Brazil and celebrate
CARNIVAL!
Mardi Gras has already begun in New Orleans. Oh I digress! As usual...but anywayyyy...HaHaHa
Beautiful pics girl. I'm starting to think about visiting Brazil (lol)

What a stunning editorial! I can only think of a few others - An American in Paris from Elle UK a few years ago comes to mind, as does a very old black and white spread from Vogue - that have made me feel so transported to another world. The fashion is almost secondary in these photos because the scenery is so interesting, it's like National Georgraphic meets Harper's Bazaar! I might never have seen this otherwise, so thanks for sharing Kim; it's going straight in my inspiration folder :)

Cee
It's a beautiful story, but (sorry about buts...) it's "inspired" by an editorial from Elle USA April 2006 with Ana Beatriz Barros who I adore. Google it - you will be amazed. ;)

Such fun photos! I really like that one with the cat head statue thing - is it a cat? - that the lady is holding.

Definitely one of the best shoots I've ever seen! Love the action shot of the guys fighting in the background. Lol, who thought of mixing that in with fashion?

I always find it a little bizarre when fashion magazines use local people as props...
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous and I love the fun carnival vibe in the editorial. I was excited to see so many great looks form the SS13 runway in this shoot as well.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, this is a great photoshoot which conveys breathtaking beauty, joy and authenticity. Some time will you post about New Orleans? I'm craving for a very sweet review of current habits and influences from the town's eventful past. Lots of love!Coco
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful KIm, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing magic.

FAB. Now I'm ready for vacay.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous editorial that makes me want to book a trip to Brazil stat lol. You're right - it's really great when location shoots infuse the culture of where they are. The white fashions look so chic. I couldn't help but wonder if the jewelry in that last photo are heavy hehe.

You are so correct! What a wonderful post! This looks like a fun photo shoot, especially the shots of the guys and that adorable little girl!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Kim with all these gorgeous white outfits. Brazil seems to be so exotic and fascinating and I can imagine it's a very interesting holiday destination.
ReplyDeletePS You asked about flight times from London to Dubai - about seven hours.
Thanks for your lovely comment and kind words.

I was needing a little vacay, Kim, and this was the perfect anecdote!!! I'm feelin' very Brazilian now! You're so right, reading other blogs and blogging about places that we've only dreamed about going to almost makes you feel as if you've actually been there ...
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a super good weekend, lovely friend! xox ~S
