Marie Antoinette Vogue 2006

I could be getting my photo shoots mixed up, maybe there were two, BUT! here are some pictures from the Marie Antoinette inspired shoot for Vogue

What do you guys think about Marie Antoinette? I remember studying the French Revolution for a whole semester, it's pretty interesting how polarising she can be. Studies coincided with the release of Sofia Coppola's film, my media teacher was outraged, carrying on how you can't make an icon out of a villain, but the film worked really well in highlighting how young she really was. A teenage girl in an unfamiliar place with a lot of power, of course it was a recipe for disaster.

When I was in Lucerne, Switzerland, I made sure I said hello to the lion.He's there in remembrance of the Swiss guards who gave their lives defending an empty building after Marie and Louis XVI snuck out the back and didn't tell anyone

I found the Antonia Fraser book in the op shop happily make my way through it on my bus rides through town

This shoot is marvellous in capturing the over the top pomp and ceremony Marie Antoinette became known for

It is a good idea for a shoot, even if the idea is to sell more tickets and more magazines

Keira Knightley style

All the above are Chanel, those kinds of dreamy ethereal colours are beautiful on her

She is just stunning

Shoes!

In Miu Miu, hi kiki d!

In Chanel. If you or I were the face/ "ambassador" for a global brand, we'd have great style too. 

Too many people on blogs torture themselves with the whole how do we ape it! Some can, some realise it's just nice to look at

Above and below both by Valentino, I'm really liking a lot of Valentino gowns in particular I've noticed! Just elegant silhouettes, this whole flashy tacky show lots of skin, even if you've got a 'rockin' bod' it just seems like a meat market. Hollywood and fashion have been always inextricably linked, but too many stars are force fed through this assembly line. "Look like this, have a 'wardrobe malfunction', name drop us as often as you can, more free shit coming your way" 

Keira 

I've always had a soft spot for high waisted pants, fit has to be good though!

All in all, I'm sure there is a team of stylists behind this all, but Miss Knightley always manages to look beautiful and thankfully hasn't gone too plastic fantastic tacky red carpet celeb overdose
