Period Piece

The 1920's were an era of revolution for women and fashion. As they emerged from the retraints of Victorian times to discover a new freedom of body and soul. Lately I have been inspired by this remarkable era, which still influences fashion today.

Hints of vintage can be found in new items, like this bright gold beret or polka dot halter both from Target.

More new retro inspiration from Target in this bowler style hat above paired with a true vintage coat and earrings I inherited from my Grandmother. Below is a sweet chemise by Gilligan & O'Malley.

Hair & Make up by Faith Brooks, Models Hannah B. and Mera W. both with Factor Model Managment, Atlanta.

All photos for this story were taken with the Leica M9

 

For more period inspiration look for a copy of Art Deco Graphics ...out of print but worth hunting for. Great films to add to your queue, Bonnie & Clyde and  the silent classic Diary of a Lost Girl. Finally, I have been listening non-stop to the album above by Erin McKeown who brings new life to some retro classics.

Beautiful portraits, loving your Leica adventure shots :) I was wondering if you used natural lighting only? I know it's not a common thing to do but I wonder how it behaves with flashes..

These are wonderful. It makes me want to go to Target! And also chop my hair off.
