DO YOU REMEMBER VICTORIA‘s article on the work of photographerCecil Beaton? The most spectacular shot, the 1948 photograph of models wearing PASTEL-COLOURED satin gowns by Charles James now serves as the inspiration for TIM WALKER’s portrait, above, featuring models Grace Mahary, Maja Salamon, Ola Rudnicka, Codie Young, Esmeralda Seay-Rynolds, Nastya Sten, Sasha Luss, Alexandra Kivimaki, Alice Cornish & Fei Fei Sun, that appears in Vogue’s May 2014 issue.
The editorial comes ahead of the COSTUME INSTITUTE’s retrospective exhibition, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, opening next month at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Maja, Ola, and Esmerelda are all pictured wearing paper dresses and jewelry created by Rhea Thierstein.
