MISS SL ♛ UK 2023 - Vanessa Jane - First Photo Challenge

Inspiration

 

My Fashion Icon is Lisa Fonssagrives. She was the first true Supermodel, working in the 1940s and 50s with very famous fashion photographers and featuring many times on Vogue front covers. Lisa was a ballet dancer and sculptor before being discovered as a model. I resonate with her desire to combine fashion with artistry to showcase designs and stylings. Lisa was groundbreaking at a time when models were mostly walking mannequins in fashion houses.

 

The photo I chose was Lisa photographed by Horst for a Vogue 1940 cover. I like vintage fashion and I also like to add twists and unexpected touches to outfits I style. I made the challenge dress, based on the dress in the photograph, but I added original touches in the silk waist sash, applique back design, and also ornate Azoury shoes. I also made my poses today, inspired by poses in vintage photos.
