Visual thoughts on fashion and its aesthetics issues… #2

— The year 2012 is already in its natural twilight and the world of fashion, beauty and endless inspiration is experiencing a recurrent auroral luminosity —

Some current wonderful fashion magazine covers

— How many things are so pleasurable to perform as the art of visual programming is?

(Toni Garrn, for Vogue Russia, December 2012, by Karl Lagerfeld — This lovely cover displays an intentional and admirable “Russian essence”. By the way, I always loved kokoshniks…)

(Sienna Miller, for Harper’s Bazaar UK, January 2013 — A very beautiful, feminine, refined and delicate cover. A true New Year’s gift for any fashion lover…)

Carice van Houten

— A pretty beautiful and talented Dutch actress who I admire. Carice Anouk van Houten was born on September 5, 1976 (wow, we both have the same age!) in Leiderdrop, the Netherlands. She has a great acting career which includes her performances in motion pictures as Black Book, Valkyrie (in this, in the role of Nina Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg — wife of Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg), Black Death, Repo Men, Game of Thrones…

Oh, I willfully also have selected some pictures of her wearing eyeglasses. Eyewear is a fashion field to which I personally give a special attention, since I’m a person who must wear glasses 24/7 (except when I’m sleeping, for instance, of course…). Carice is a proof of how beautiful and charming can be a woman wearing glasses!

Visual thoughts on fashion and its aesthetics issues… #1

(Amy Adams, InStyle, December 2011)

“She was an object too sublime and beautiful for my dull pen to describe… Her dress was everything that art and wealth could make it… She had a fine complexion indicating her perfect health, and was a handsome woman in her face and figure… not a feature of her face, nor a motion of any part of her person, especially her arm and her hand, could be criticized as being out of order.”

John Adams, describing Marie-Antoinette

Happened last year (and deserves to be revived) — J’adore Dior…

 Charlize Theron meets old stars in new J’adore Dior ad —

“To celebrate the latest incarnation of J’adore fragrance, Dior Beauty last night officially released a new commercial starring Charlize Theron mingling with three long-gone movie icons. Music: Heavy Cross by The Gossip.

Shot at Château of Versailles over four days, the 90-second commercial, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Name of the Rose) brings Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe back to life. Charlize runs up the stairs to greet them, all against the backdrop of a couture show in the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors). These famous “adorers” of Dior are all dressed by Dior.

In addition to Charlize’s team, there were 12 makeup artists, 12 hair stylists, 220 extras, 40 actors and a technical team of 100 people on set. Theron has been the face of J’adore since 2004. Her first campaign featured the actress wrapped in golden sheets.”

Inside Russian beauties’ constellation there’s a very special and bright star called Elena Vladimirovna Roslyakova (aka Vlada Roslyakova – Rus.: Влада Рослякова). I guess it’s impossible to find out a single word to define or describe her enchanting beauty and aura with enough fairness.

This post is just a very little and humble attempt to show somewhat about Ms Roslyakova’s  flaring sweetness and beauty…
