i love grace+alice

thanks for the inspiring afternoon! i loved "the september issue", especially the work of grace coddington (who i thought stole the movie from anna wintour). i recognized one of her photographs from the documentary - it was from a Vogue 2003 fashion spread which i still absolutely love to this day!

it had an alice in wonderland theme where each photo featured an interpretation of alice's blue dress with its designer. grace is a genius! (photos are by annie leibovitz). i think the photographs, and even the dresses, are timeless!

here's "alice" with designer olivier theyskens (for rochas)


falling into the rabbit hole with tom ford


in a helmut lang dress (and i think that's his portrait on the wall)


marc jacobs as the caterpillar


karl lagerfeld


gaultier as the cheshire cat


viktor and rolf as the tweedle dee and tweedle dum


btw, here's the 2010 tim burton version of the tweedles!


christian lacroix at the tea party


john galliano (for Dior)


donatella versace


nicholas ghesquiere for balenciaga


and since we opted to watch "september issue" over "alice in wonderland" today, i thought i'd show you the costumes from tim burton's version, which was the most enjoyable part of the movie for me :)

i did love alice's new blue dress (after she had shrunk into wonderland)


here's her dress at the red queen's palace


johnny depp's mad hatter costume


and helena bonam carter's red queen outfit (and btw, she was brilliant in this movie!)


*inspired!*
