The luxury of being wined and dined is captured in ‘A Precious Glam’ by Miles Aldridge. The famed photographer worked with the classic beauty Carmen Kass on this shoot, channeling fabulous fashions from the mid 19th century.
Captured in 13 different and uniquely dazzling gowns, the stunning model appears quite bored with her gourmet meals and her masculine company. The photos succeed in striking noted contrasts between the belle and her comparatively unexceptional surroundings as she poses elegantly next to her beautiful blonde dog.
Carmen outshines her environment with frilly frocks, sculpted locks and a perfect palette of makeup amidst restaurant kitchens and wood-clad bars and dining booths. Featuring a delicate diva of the 1950s, A Precious Glam by Miles Aldridge dazzles the March 2011 issue of Vogue Italia.
