Tuesday, April 8

Agh. The shop that were 'fixing' my camera have declared that it cannot be fixed. So now i have the task of saving for a new one. So hopefully i will have a camera soon.

But from one person-behind-the-camera to another, i present you my second fashion mini-biography on the topic of: legendary photograper Patrick Demarchelier.
Info bit:


The french photographer was born in 1994 and since then has become a major name in the photography industry. He has shot dozens of editorials for American, British and Paris Vogue. He has also shot covers for Rolling Stone, Glamour, and Elle. Also, he has shot campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. He was also mentioned in Devil Wears Prada [hence the title...].


Recently, he shot 'the sheltering sky' for British Vogue with model Jessica Stam, showcasing this seasons prettiest fashions.


Im sorry this is a bit hurried, but i have the dreaded return to school tomorrow, so i'm very busy [but i hope these gorgeous pictures make up for it!] Thankyou all for your lovely comments, and i'll reply as soon as i can!

Have a nice day everyone,
Molly xo.

great styling and great pics! I like the sandals and socks combination in the pic where the model is sitting on bags of dried goods!

Whoa he photographed an amazing shoot. Best of luck finding a new camera. I had problems with mine recently, it was the memory card/disk. I wasnt able to take pictures and if i did they would not show up. Thankfully I now have a new memory card with even more memory capacity. Anyway, as usual your post is intersting and a great read!

Patrick Demarchelier is simply One of The Best, a "BlockBuster Fashion Photographer", in "High Class register" . . .
Beautiful Tribute !!!!

Cordially, Antoine

haha great title! love that movie! and gorgeous shoot, i really love the first photo of stam. good luck with cameras- next time i recommend that you get a warranty if possible- my friend once dropped mine when the lens was open and it jammed, luckily they said it couldn't be fixed and they could give me a new one. seriously, warranties are worth the extra money, saves a whole new camera!

well, of course primark would have leather jackets! haha just to annoy me that we don't have primark. it also proves that clearly england is ahead of the game fashion-wise yet again b/c leather jackets are sparse here, whenever i go to england i always find stuff that doesn't show up in the states for nearly 6 months. i'm sure if i would've done some online shopping on uk sites i would've found a lot more jackets for my post, but shopping on uk sites depresses me b/c i can't get it haha

I'm sooo sorry about your camera. I know how important that must be for you. Hugs.
Love the photographs. I love mixing locales with fashion, especially when they don't normally "fit" in the real world.

Mónica said...

He is so good! Sometimes in Vogue Spain we are so lucky that we have him (not al the times) but his work is amazing. It's ok to me trade links;)

Unknown said...

great minds think alike! i absolutely adore his photography and stam looks ace in that shoot.

my camera(s) are all broken as well. when you decide on a new one, pray tell!

Jill said...

I like the vibe the whole shoot gives off, with the patterns and the full, longer skirts.

la petite fashionista said...

i love the vintage looking bathing suit stam is rocking in those photographs. this is an awesome shoot!

Stam is so gosh-darned gorgeous! I can't believe we are about the same age! She seems worlds more sophisticated.

Romany said...

Omg it's the Fendi dress (top pic, Stam)!! Uh I. Love. That. Dress.
Demarchelier is such an inspiration to all aspiring photographers, no? He shows that one can be extremely successful in such an industry (because I've always loved photography, but never considered it as a career choice because I never saw it going anywhere...but since I found out about D. my mind has changed...).
