Vogue UK recently shot an editorial re-creating some of Roald Dahl’s finest children’s works of the 20th century. With big names like Tim Burton, Jamie Bell and Helena Bonham Carter as the faces appearing in the print version of “James and the Giant Peach” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” photographer Tim Walker and Vogue’s aesthetic was creative and reminiscent of these childhood stories. 

The photo pictured above actually stirred up quite a bit of controversy, critics crying that the shot in the editorial wasn’t “original.” The original image was actually, shot by Philippe Halsman, a 20th century photographer and Salvador Dali inspired surrealist. Well original idea or not, I love this fashion inspired interpretation! Isn’t this what re-creation is all about? 

Thanks Wicked Halo!

The latest UK Vogue shoot is probably one of the most random I have seen in a long time. The magazine chose quotes from Roald Dahl to include in their spread consisting of Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and random nudity. Very random.

Thanks Kempt

This month’s issue of UK Vogue not only features that amazing Roald Dahl shoot, it also features an avant garde tribute by Nick Knight. Entitled ‘Unbelievable Fashion’ this editorial goes through the most mind blowing garments of the last years. Viktor & Rolf, Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler, Galliano and Alexander McQueen are just a few of the names whose frocks make an appearance.
