Ali Michael for Lula Spring 2010 issue catches a case of the spots and over-the-top headgear for the photographic story ‘Why Don’t They Let Us Fall in Love?’ Photographer Catherine Servel captures Ali Michael as she portrays [girlish innocence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) for the camera.

Styled by Sam Bryant, the charming innocence of girlhood is brought out in this shoot with his selection of [veils, big bows and oversized hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-accessories-collection). The whole photo spread is reminiscent of [playing dress up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) and is extremely sweet, which begs an answer to their question, ‘Why Don’t They Let Us Fall in Love?'
