Somber Prairie Lookbooks

The Léo Paris AW14/15 Lookbook Features a Sullen-Eyed Nora

— May 27, 2014 — Fashion
The Léo Paris AW14/15 lookbook, starring fawn-eyed Nora from Jill Models, was shot by photographer duo Hannah and Joel. Though Nora is absolutely lovely, she looks particularly dark and morose in this lookbook, prompting the viewer to wonder why she's pouting.

Inspired by "van Gogh['s] landscapes and [the] scenes of Vermeer's portraits," the creative team sought to escape metropolitan chaos. They stumbled across a scenic village called Chevreuse that suited their artistic purposes beautifully. Nora looks like a true country gal against the prairie landscapes. In terms of the clothes, the collection features traditional dutch embroidery, sourced from flea market canvasses.

Laura Noben was responsible for Nora's makeup (and artistic direction for the shoot), while Ian Van Hoogendorp styled her hair.
Trend Themes
1. Dark Aesthetic - With the somber prairie lookbooks, there is an opportunity to explore the growing trend of dark and moody fashion photography.
2. Artistic Inspirations - The creative team drawing inspiration from the works of van Gogh and Vermeer opens up possibilities for merging art and fashion in innovative ways.
3. Traditional Dutch Embroidery - The use of traditional Dutch embroidery sourced from flea market canvasses presents an opportunity to revive and modernize traditional craftsmanship.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Photography - The dark and moody aesthetic in the somber prairie lookbooks creates a demand for photographers skilled in capturing atmospheric and emotionally charged imagery.
2. Art and Fashion - The merging of artistic inspirations with fashion in the Léo Paris AW14/15 lookbook calls for innovative collaborations between artists and designers to create unique and visually compelling collections.
3. Craft and Design - The use of traditional Dutch embroidery in the collection presents an opportunity for craftsmen and designers to collaborate and create modern interpretations of traditional techniques.
