Natalie does Audrey

Hey Audrey!

This took a while, but I just discovered this Harpers Bazaar cover from November 2007. Natalie Portman is on the cover, in the Givenchy evening gown you wore in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's. You will be happy to know that this very gown was auctioned of for £ 467 200 at a Christies auction, and that the proceeds went to the City of Joy Aid Charity in Calcutta.

Beautiful Bohéme

Hey Audrey!

Astrid and I had so much fun shooting her winter range of beautiful pumps and boots today. Astrid organized with a friend to use her sumptious bedroom, and was such a natural and sensual model for her own shoes. These pictures are a sneak preview, but you can soon see her stunning designs on the Bohéme website.

Just being Audrey

Hey Audrey!

I bought myself an indulgent birthday present: the most delightful book about you! It is the story of your life, written as a children's book by Margaret Cardillo. I love the illustrations by Julia Denos, especially the spread featuring all the famous characters you played in movies over the years. 

Quite a SSStory

Hey Audrey!

I have just finished a logo for a client,  and it took quite a lot of 'S' designs to get it right. So now I have made an 'S' family, and they can live happily ever after on this blog. 

Green things

Hey Audrey!

I went shopping for green things today: cute compostable planters for little chilli plants, and unbleached sugar cane toilet paper and serviettes. I was chuffed with the toilet paper, not only is it better for the environment, it is two-ply AND has embossed hearts on it!

Edwardian elegance

Hey Audrey!

I just couldn't resist showing you the three actresses who play the Crawley sisters in Downton Abbey posing for American Vogue in modern day couture inspired by Edwardian fashion. The photoshoot was by Uli Weber.

In love with Downton Abbey

 I love the tweed hunting outfit, look at the stunning detail on the hat.

 What a beautiful hair comb!

Hey Audrey!

Like many other people in the world, I have fallen completely in love with the TV series Downton Abbey, set Yorkshire from 1912 onwards. Mary and Matthew have become my favourite start crossed lovers. Susannah Buxton, the costume designer for the series, did a fantastic job. I read in an interview that she mostly reworked real vintage dresses for the series, instead of creating them from scratch.  Even Vogue thinks that the series is something special, and have been showing their readers how to get the Edwardian look, as well as shooting luscious spreads with the lead actresses. The images I'm showing you here are form the Special Christmas Edition, which has the most romantic ending I have seen in a long time.
