Art :: Annie Leibovitz for Vogue


Sometimes we just need to get away, and what better than to be transported into one of Annie Leibovitz's visual fairy tales for Vogue?  Whether it's Kirsten Dunst as the ill-fated French Queen Marie Antoinette, model Natalia Vodianova portraying 'Alice in Wonderland' alongside a slew of high fashion designers {Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford?  Sign me up!}, or Andrew Garfield and a model that could easily be a young Grace Coddington channeling 'Hansel and Gretel,' her images are nothing short of magical.  I hope you enjoy getting lost in the images as much as I do!

  2. Annie is such an inspiration. We never studied her in college (we had more of a focus on documentary and news photography than fashion/art) but I've loved her work for so long. Remember the shoot she did of Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker, of what could have been Big & Carrie's honeymoon in New York? It was grand. xo

  7. i always loved that alice in wonderland shoot, but that photo with the lion is unreal. i'd be so terrified to get near a giant wild animal like that.

    great selection of leibovitz photos, though. she's a true legend in fashion photography, that's for sure.

  13. I have torn these pages from past Vogue issues so it is with sadness that I recently canceled my subscription after many years. Vogue is not what it use to be and their standards are non-existence. Grace Coddington is a genius though. Really miss models being on the cover too

  23. isn't it amazing!? i'm so glad i was able to share it with you!

  24. i know! i can't even imagine how much time and effort goes into getting every single shot set-up. i remember reading about the alice & wonderland shoot in grace coddington's memoir...it sounded quite dramatic trying to get all the designers to agree :)

  25. i actually cancelled mine about a year ago as well barbara. for me, i was really tired of constantly reading about all the society girls. yes reading about them is a fun and glamorous to escape everyday life for a few minutes...but it was just too much about name dropping and not enough about fashion.
