With a natural, Victorian housewives meet “The Secret Garden” sort of vibe, Phil Poynter’s spread for Numéro 101 March 2009 is a beacon of fashion innocence. Okay, so we all know that ‘fashion’ and ‘innocence’ don’t belong in the same sentence, but models Alana Zimmer, Alyona Osmanova and Vika Kuropnyatkova make all that is naive, guiltless and pure somewhat real. Poynter’s use of natural light and overexposure are brilliant, in combination with the vulnerable poses, producing an eerie, yet beautiful scene. And to seal the deal, the vertical ruching on the Dior dress (pictured above) matches the brushed-back grain of Alyona Osmanova. I am in love.
Thanks Fashion Copious!
