A Day At The Circus


Vogue Italia
April 2007
Model: Karen Elson
Photographer: Steven Meisel

It has been a number of years since I last felt compelled to leave my life behind and join the circus. For the first occurence, the Disney classic Dumbo was to blame.


Currently playing: Starstruck ft. Flo Rida & Space Cowboy - Lady GaGa

I don't normally feature editorials on my blog, but this one is so amazing that I may very well have to!
Thank you for the jolt of inspiration.

Hello, darling said...

Dumbo was such a beloved favourite when I was younger. I remember being so happy for him when he learned to fly and was reunited with his mother!

Sol said...

She looks so statuesque!
Love that song, doesn't it get you going when you're not feeling your best?

Hannah said...

Totally amazing :D:D:D

I just read that Steven Meisel has shot every cover of Vogue Italia since 1988. His best work ever has to be that Versace campaign he did with Amber Valetta. I think I have them in my fashion binder.

Annie said...

Ohhh my gosh, I was inspired to sketch 20th century circus from Britney Spears' "Circus" music video last week, but this photoshoot is a much better muse! :D I haven't watched "Dumbo" in ages.

peace&love,
nicole.

I hate to admit that I've actually never been to a circus. I always wanted to go though.

Terence Sambo said...

The most intriguing things for me @ the circus are the costumes and mix of colors.
