When Vogue Korea asked Kim Kyoungsoo, a renowned fashion photographer to realize a series of fashion portraits that would (re-actualize) the traditionnal Korean costum (Hanbok), he also decided to realize his series Full Moon Story. His models are elegantly staged, wearing somptuous Hanbok, with their haircuts and make-up done perfectly. There is a serenity, poetry and softness which emanates from the pictures that astonishes and instantly puts the viewer in a contemplative state of mind.

The fabrics are what initially drew me to these images while browsing away on Pinterest. I love how the texture shines through - you'd almost want to touch the screen in the hope that you will feel the linen.

“During the National traditionnal festivities called ‘Chuseok’, many Korean people used to wear the hanbok. I wanted to show this typical ambiance with both a lyric and modern touch. I wanted a neutral stage; only shadows and reflections mattered to me: Colours, faces and models were enhanced by cold and light tones creating an almost surreal feeling.”

In the June issue of Vogue Nederland I came across a short article about Lijn 2, the second jewelry collection of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. After a short search online I found some absolutely stunning images by this Dutch couple who now live in NYC. The jewelry pieces by Inez and Vinoodh are available via Barneys.

hello monday

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful week. Monday morning's have a tendency to be a bit difficult for most people. I am not sure if it is a physiological thing or just human nature. But I have to admit that once I get myself going - after espresso and a lovely breakfast - the day usually turns out quite great. So today I thought I'd share a few details of my early morning. What does your routine include?

coffee, breakfast, oj - in a beautiful Venetian glass and some Vogue for inspiration.
