Paris
An Unlikely Story
Paris has style! Just like the city she is named after. It doesn’t matter if she is wearing a T shirt and jeans to go food shopping or a designer gown for a gala event. Let’s take it even a step further. If she was wearing a burlap sack out on the street what people would see was a women in a very sheik dress that they would want to buy for their wardrobe.
She was not taught this nor did she go to a fashion college to learn. It is instinctive to her.
The tilt of a chapeau placed on her head at just the right angle to complement her facial features or the accessories chosen for an outfit might seem completely wrong, way off base to the onlooker, but once she is wearing all the pieces together it is apparent that there was never a better choice. Now that is Style with a capital “S.” Wouldn’t you agree?
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.
