Want It Wednesday: Marion Cotillard’s Look from July Vogue

My Want It Wednesday this week is the entire look and feel of this photograph of Marion Cotillard. From Vogue July 2010, French siren and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard was featured on the cover.

One of the additional Vogue photos caught my eye the most, showing Marion wearing a Nina Ricci fuchsia silk-and-slate flannel ruched dress and rosette-bouquet silk-chiffon cummerbund. With this stunning dress, her accessories stood out. The Nina Ricci dress was paired with and Vera Wang sunglasses and Christian Louboutin ruffled satin pumps. Not only do I absolutely adore her look, but I love the setting. See the entire feature at Vogue.com.

Inez van Lamsweerde Works With One of Her Favorites, Daria Werbowy, for Yves Saint Laurent’s Fall 2010 Campaign

>> There's little change in Yves Saint Laurent's usual campaign formula for Fall 2010 - supermodel shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin - but this time, the duo is working with Daria Werbowy, who van Lamsweerde recently named among her favorite models to work with, along with Raquel Zimmermann, Kate Moss, and Anja Rubik: "They all have this huge range. They’re mature, they’re grown up, they’re women who have had a life and experience. For about five or six years now we haven’t shot anyone under 18 for that reason, but also for the fact that we feel that the modeling business should not promote girls working under 18. They’re not out of school, their bodies aren’t developed yet, they don’t have a sense of self yet, sometimes they haven’t had sex yet. It’s hard to project all these things on someone who hasn’t had that experience."
