Vivienne
An Unlikely Story
Vivienne was chosen for the Roaring Twenties Bergdorf Goodman 2012 Holiday Window display for her amazing resemblance to a particular ingenue in Hollywood back then.
It didn’t surprise her because she was always attracted to the clothing, music and interior designs of that era. An era where Platinum was the hair color of choice whether you were born brunette, red head or blonde. Fashion was gilded with sequins, beads, feathers - anything that sparkled & exuded glamour.
Vivienne and Esme became inseparable during this magical Holiday Display and both were so sad to leave each other and all the luscious surroundings within it more than any other display ever. She hopes that one day she and Esme will be asked back to pose for a similar display.
Mannequin Reflections - Behind the Glass
Imagine standing before a stunning window display, a world of fantasy and glamour frozen in time. The mannequins, seemingly alive, pose amidst intricate sets, a testament to the artistry of the designer.
This was the inspiration for my blog series, Mannequin Reflections. Armed with nothing more than my iPhone, I began capturing these captivating scenes, drawn to the unique interplay of light and reflection.
As I experimented with different angles and perspectives, I realized that the glass itself was an integral part of the story. It acted as a mirror, reflecting the world outside and creating a mesmerizing blend of reality and illusion.
It was in these reflections that I found my muse. I began to envision the lives of these mannequins, the stories they could tell if only they could speak.
