An Ode to the Superwoman

I shall keep this post short and sweet.
They do say a picture speaks a thousand words, here are 16!
Versace Haute Couture collection which sashayed down the catwalk this week.
So powerful yet so serenely feminine.
The perfect balance between the dominant independent woman and all that is pretty and womanly in the world.
Bold angles and sharp cuts, simplistic staunch high ponytails contrasted beautifully with elegant, sheer materials, floral prints and shimmering heavenly shades.
Karlie Kloss does add to my swoon too...
Two words - I LOVE!

A True Master

What does it take to be the best? What sets you apart from the rest of the pack? What is it that makes magic a stark reality? What makes you the master of your trade?

Questions of success, questions that any individual will ask themselves to be the best that they can be. In the world of fashion, they are extremely relevant. What determines one persons talent over another? (If anyone has the answers, you can send them my way.)

You may ask what has sparked this inquisitive confrontation.

The answer, Patrick Demarchelier.

Above are some of his works of art depicting Dior haute couture as featured in the new book Dior Couture. Decadent shots, glorious images, wistful surroundings and magnificent fashion, Demarchelier is truly the master of his passion.

I can't put my finger on one exact reason as to what makes him the best.

He just is.

His work is magic.

For that he must be acclaimed.
