what exquisite photographs. I love photos like this. it seems that people were much more classy and dignified once upon a time. Now, everybody dress as if they just came from working in the garden.
Gorgeous, could have been done today and also reminds me a bit of Stephen Sprouse in the late 80's.
Yes! Stephen Sprouse! I loved his graffiti styled painted clothes way back when.
