Avant-garde photographer Deborah Turbeville launched her first fashion retrospective photo book "The Fashion Pictures", published by Rizzoli, last month, October 2011. The book reveals her visionary aesthetic and the stories behind her poetic, highly stylized photographs.
"Lewis Carroll dressed her as an innocent in satin and ribbons. Disney made her flaxen haired and saucer eyed. In the pages of Vogue the land of merry unbirthdays and late running rabbits shimmers to life again - as the world's most influential designers dress the original little girl lost in their own visions."
This is the description of an outstanding Annie Leibovitz signed fashion editorial starring supermodel Natalia Vodianova.
Enjoy the only pictures you'll ever see with designer Olivier Theyskens
as writer Lewis Caroll, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren as goofy
characters Tweedledum&Tweedledee, as well as a pre-fitness-mania Marc Jacobs
as the Caterpillar or the megalomaniac John Galliano as the Queen of
Hearts (no, wait, we usually see him as such). I'll leave you to
recognize the rest of the cast.
Editorial: Alice in Wonderland
Magazine: Vogue US, December 2004
Model: Natalia Vodianova

Three most glamorous fashion decades, the 40s, 50s and the 60s have been kept alive thanks to these gifted fashion photographers: Norman Parkinson, John Rawlings and Terence Donovan. It is true that fashion sells fantasy but, at the same time, it reflects the changes in our society and lifestyle. High class defying time fashion photography creates an essential frame of reference for vintage fashion lovers and not only.
