I'm in love and on cloud 9. What's his name? Will Cotton. Oh Will! Let me inside your "think tank" (brain). It's so sweet. HaHaHa I didn't think another man besides Tim Walker could appreciate or understand my love for fashion mixed with fantasy & food. But I digress. I just recently discovered Will Cotton. He draws, paints, sculpts, photographs and has an extraordinary sense of imagination. His website is literally filled with cotton candy clouds.He recently photographed Elle Fanning for the 2013 February Edition of New York Magazine. For this photo shoot, he embellished gorgeous accessories and gowns with the sweetest treats.
Frosted dresses, handbags filled with cake, petit fours, eclairs, ice cream cones, hard candy, licorice, candy earrings, cupcake headpieces, lollipop crowns, candy coated makeup and a fairytale backdrop make up this set.
Enjoy the pictures below and for a closer look, take a look at the video. It's a MUST SEE.
"Treat sugar as a fabric. Frost a dress. Make a necklace from gum balls.
And don't forget to lick your fingers."

Have a great weekend everybody!
Do something sweet for yourself and somebody else!
what a lovely shoot though i think my heart stopped a little at the cake in the bag! kind of reminds me of a friend of mine who got married, then later had a cake fight in the wedding dress (ruined of course, but great photos :))

I spotted a shot from this editorial yesterday and immediately thought of you, Kim! Food and fashion are two of my great passions - just like I know they're yours - and although I don't always love when they're combined, when it's done well, it can be transcendent... and these photos definitely qualify! Have a fabulous weekend :)

I love how playful these are! And, Marchesa + Erdem, ahhh, I've gone to heaven, haha! Happy weekend dear. /Madison
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous...I'd happily play on these sets!! I prefer the pictures of her with a bit of a smile, the others her face looks a bit lifeless or spooked. But, I adore these. Have a wonderful weekend doll!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHow fun! It's hard to believe she is just a teenager!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning Kim, thanks for sharing. Really beautiful images - although I have to say, I am craving something sweet so badly right now! xo
ReplyDeleteHow brilliant and beautiful!!!! I am absolutely in love with this story (and having a massive sweet craving as we speak).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day and lovely weekend, Kim!

There is so much sweet and frothy goodness in this editorial! I'm dying over the Marchesa and Reem Acra images. I had heard Will Cotton's name but I wasn't aware of his extensive skills. The video was awesome! Totally going to check out his site. Thanks for the eye candy and intro Kim!
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet weekend!

ReplyDeleteAxx
Kimmy, I'm sad. Is that real food? Or food looking goodies?In the latter case, it's adorable. In the first, I don't like the concept though it is visually appealing. Unless of course it's going to be eaten up by the poor girl who must have been on a diet since her first birthday. Hope you don't terribly mind my bluntness. The pictures do look amazing... Love
ReplyDeleteOh I love her in the white Marchesa gown and the candy eye shadow. I like Elle, but is it weird that I kinda want to see this same editorial with Dakota?
