Neo Romantic
Vogue Italia July 2009
Emma Summerton
Abbey Lee Kershaw and Imogen Morris-Clarke
Double barrel names abound!
This editorial is beautiful, well shot, amazingly styled and incredibly modeled by Abbey and Imogen. They manage to embody that mannequin-esque character as well as adding something of their own to the mix, seeming both plasticine and pliable at the same time.
The styling perfectly evokes the shoot title and concept too - neo romantic, with all those masks, glitter, renaissance patterns and big lips it is clear that they are revisiting romance of the venezian kind. But then another dimension is thrown in with a revisiting of the revisit of romance, the neo-romance that became popular in the 1980s through Adam Ant's revival of 18th century bourgeoisie clothing. the catsuits, the big sleeves, the roses, the clothes just this side of bad taste are all nods to a 1980s vision of what romance was. I love it when fashion shoots have many dimensions!
