Marie Antoinette

I particularly love this set of photographs taken by the extremely talented Spanish photographer Juan Gatti. The beautiful model is Mona Johannesson and these were taken for Vogue Espana Oct 06.

enjoy





















I will be guest posting at my gorgeous friend "Her Name was Lola" on Sunday, be sure to check out .... "Stranded"!

Happy Weekend

Marie Antoinette may have been a controversial figure in history, but she was definitely a stylish one. I love the movie starring Kirsten Dunst.
Love these photos.

Nora Johnson said...

Such beautiful clothes they wore in those days - sometimes I think I must have lived then (probably was even M Antoinette herself!)cos I love all things beautiful too...

Have a great weekend!

Jacqueline said...

Well....you have just shown my favourite, favourite look of ALL TIME......pictures 7 & 8..are they Dolce and Gabbana...do you remember that collection...Napoleonic...it was the best ever...if they had wanted a muse for that it should have been me !!!!!!
Some of the comments that you have had have said that these clothes would be good for playing dress up but I wear that 7 & 8 look (obviously slightly toned down !!!) daily. Probably couldn't go to the supermarket in the wonderful gowns...even I couldn't do that !!!!!! Hmmmmm....well maybe.......... ???????? Just love, love, love it ALL. XXXX

Thank you so much for sharing these exquisite clothes and she is such a pretty model.
Do you ever wished you could have lived back then, when Ladies had beautiful clothes, like this?
I know sometimes I would, do not know about the corsets though.

I'm guessing that a lot of you are looking to grab these outfits for dress-ups or amended streetwear!

The backgrounds didn't go unnoticed either, there are some stunning tapestries,drapes etc.

Thank you for your comments.
