Have had a long standing love affair for all things chandelier and upon coming across these striking images, am utterly captivated by the grandeur of it all....these images and more are all housed within the book, ‘Dior: The Legendary Images: Great Photographers and Dior,’ edited by Florence Muller and newly launched along with the exhibition, ‘Dior, images de légende’ (Dior,the legendary images) hosted by the Christian Dior Museum.

The exhibition features connections maintained over time by the iconic French fashion house with the world of photography through more than 200 photographs from famous photographers who've presented the house in their own vision.

Book will be available June 3 on Amazon.

Fashion Musings | From The Archives: Ina Balke In Palm Beach

Incredibly inspired by this photo of model, Ina Balke, taken in 1962 by famous French photographer, Jeanloup Sieff, so much so that I felt compelled to share immediately! Captivated by Ina's cool, calm composure, the pulled back hair bun, the lace trimming below the elbow length butterfly sleeves and the mounds of ruffles layered along the neckline and that tiny detail of a satin bow amidst it all...

Though uncertain of the actual color of this dress from the purposeful black and white photography, am certainly daydreaming of a dress exactly like this, would be perfect in white and perfect for a little getaway lounging at a beach house or strolling underneath a summer sun!
