Arizona Muse - British Vogue editorial shoot 2011



I love this simple fashion shoot in New York for Vogue by Lachlan Bailey. It is a classic editorial showing the  merits of the new below the knee length skirt. The styling is fab and sells this demure lady like length in a modern and aspirational way, cool in the city! - the images have an energy about them that makes this look easy to wear. Think how you could make a short 60 second film out of this idea to sell it further on the vogue web site.









Jean Shrimpton in New York shot by David Bailey in the 1960s


This photoshoot seen in June British Vogue this year is reminiscent of the sort of style David Bailey and Jean Shrimpton made their own in the 1960s, in particular the red jumper shot where Arizona Muse is holding a can of coke - an iconic American object. Actress Karen Gillan will be playing Jean Shrimpton in a BBC 4 biopic about Bailey and Shrimpton's time in Manhatton doing the above shoot and their love affair. The film will be out next year.
