Then and Now


Some fashion images i came across that are similar to costume pieces i am making. These images have a retro feel with modern twist and the styling ties into my interest in costumes pieces for female adornment

Alfred Cheney Johnston








I'm very inspired my the images of Alfred Cheney Johnston who photographed the legendary Ziefeld girls. They are timeless and beautiful and like looking into a window to another world where these women are muses immortalized.
