Swept away - Romance at the sea

Plein Air: Zac Posen

Magazine: Vogue US November 2011
Model: Caroline Trentini
Photographer: Patrick Demarchelier
Hair and makeup: Didier Malige and Gucci Westman

"Romance is in the sea air, as a tide of  fluid lengths, breezy silhouettes and colors of shell, sand and sky washes ashore" - a perfect quote with which the magazine embarks us on a very romantic journey shot in a marvelous landscape. The clear, shimmering water, the blue summer sky, the boat, the paddles everything comes into place and creates a wonderful story that gets you hooked and wanting to know more about it. 

The composition and the pastel colors remind me of French impressionist paintings and that's a huge plus for me! That was exactly the intention of the photographer, as every photo bears a title just like a painting. Here's the model, Caroline Trentini, showcasing garments from many designers such as Zac Posen, Rodarte, Dior, Nina Ricci, Valentino and more:

Swim Strokes: Rodarte, Chanel

Age of Innocence: Dior

Catch of the Day: Nina Ricci

New Horizon: Valentino

First Blush: Vera Wang

Motion of the Ocean: Alexander McQueen

Did you feel the romance in this editorial? What is your favorite look? I just can't decide between the Zac Posen silk-chiffon and organza dress in the opening photo, the white and ethereal silk-chiffon dress from Dior and the subtle beauty of the Vera Wang's pleated dress.
