Vogue’s Garden of Delight

As seen in this December’s Vogue, I’m spellbound by the enchanting feature spread of ‘Garden of Delight‘ photographed by Steven Meisel. It’s almost like a fairy-tale, enjoy:

‘Tis the Season…
…to wear award-winning drama! John Galliano’s topiary dresses for Christian Dior Couture gracefully defy all laws of nature. Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano carnival gowns.

Mad science: Zac Posen cultivates a brilliant hybrid of the French tulip and a single rose petal—rare indeed. Zac Posen silk bubble dress with rosette hem. Wolford tights.

Beds of blue poppies on bell-shaped dresses ring in the New Year with smashing glamour and a subtle wink at spring. Oscar de la Renta blue-and-white Himalayan-poppy-print dresses and matching heels.

Winter is no threat to the perennial party dress (or the bed of fragrant jasmine, for that matter). Marc Jacobs dégradé tulle and cream petticoat dresses.

Vera Wang raw-edged chiffon dress. Vera Wang gold Mary Janes.

Manolo Blahnik used Mother Nature’s magic wand to turn ordinary fall foliage into an extraordinary slipper. Manolo Blahnik Cabbage heels.

Christian Lacroix renders a carnation—blown-out into magnificent chaos—to challenge even your wildest imaginings.

    I absolutely loved this spread. I was in awe of how well the dresses complimented the setting or was it vice versa?!
