Amanhã debruçar-me-ei sobre os Fashion Awards Portugal 2011, cerimónia que tem, a nosso ver, uma importância inegável no panorama da moda nacional (e na nossa economia). Devo desde já dizer-vos que o saldo me pareceu muito positivo. Ainda estou à espera de encontrar o rasto às fotografias tiradas pelas meninas da Sapo, [fingers crossed!] porque, não tendo nós (estupidamente) levado máquina, são os únicos registos que temos do evento. Em não as encontrando, lá vamos nós recriar a fatiota usada na cerimónia para uma sessão fotográfica. Bom fim-de-semana!

O post inaugural não podia ser outro e é pouco menos que triunfante. "The beauty and the beast", o editorial fotografado por Annie Leibovitz para a Vogue US de Abril de 2005. E estar assim tão perto do monstro só pode ter feito bem a Drew Barrymore: nunca a vimos tão bela. Fonte.

A Thorny Problem

Beauty finds herself captive in the Beast's palace when she selflessly offers herself up to save her father from the Beast's almighty wrath. [Her father's crime: picking a rose for his daughter from the Beast's garden.] Chanel Haute Couture gray beaded-and-beribboned dress.

A Feast for the Eyes

Every night, the Beast proposed marriage to Beauty, but she refused him again and again. Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress with gold lace petticoat.

A Haunting Melody

The Beast adorned Beauty with the finest robes and jewels. Here, Barrymore wears a Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano ivory Empire dress with gold beadwork and a large bow on the shoulder.

Through the Looking Glass

"It's quite a shame that the Beast is so ugly," sighed Beauty, "for he is so good." Chanel Haute Couture white satin dress with beaded lace overlay and Alice-blue ribbons.

A Dark Horse

She wouldn't leave the gentle Beast alone long. Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano strapless white gauze dress and coat with exaggerated cuffs and collar and heavy gold embroidery.

Midnight in the Garden "I thought I felt only friendship toward you," cried Beauty, "but I see that I love you." Christian Lacroix Haute Couture voluminously ruffled dress with pink and purple chiffon layers.
