Fashion Musings | Editorial: Still Life by Claire Pettibone

Fashion Musings | Editorial: Still Life by Claire Pettibone

First, it was SYNDICATE's fashion forward digital garden, and then, earlier, a look at Doloris Petunia's absolutely adorable flower girl dresses and now today, a preview of Claire Pettibone's Still Life collection and the love for anything and everything floral continues!

Set against abstract floral backdrops, each photograph, effortlessly captured by none other than Elizabeth Messina, captures a certain artistry behind Claire Pettibone's impeccable work.

Swooning over these terribly beautiful dresses and photographs, have long been mesmerized by Elizabeth Messina with the dreaminess, lightness of her work and have also always been captivated by Claire Pettibone's breathtaking collections.  Both have collaborated with one another previously and am always stunned by the measure of beauty in everything done together...

Am unsurprisingly whisked away into thoughts of gardens in full bloom, traipsing around in a little white dress against a summer breeze from looking at these photos.

“In the second half of the 17th century, the art of the floral still life reached the height of fashion. Dramatic arrangements of flora and fauna, insects and fruits, set against dramatic dark backgrounds exude a mysterious romanticism. The brilliance of nature’s beauty is highlighted to dramatic effect, just as the bride becomes the center of our attention. Painterly butterflies and floral details grade delicate silks and laces gilded in gold, glowing as if lit from within. Oh, the unexplainable mystery of love! Be still my heart…still in love…still life.” Claire Pettibone
