Notice any similarities? The pictures on the first row come from the John Galliano ss08 runway show [pic credit tfs], that took place yesterday, while the second pictures were shot by me, on 2007-09-23, as part of the “Runaway Train” photo shoot.

I don’t have high-end designer outfits to use in the photo shoot I shoot, so I usually have to be creative and try to do something with what I’ve got. I never explained why I used that elephant toy on Roxana’s head (as a head piece) in that photo shoot. Well, the idea of the whole shoot was to showcase different female personalities you might get to see on a train ride: a glamorous woman, a rebel girl, a tomboy, a modern girl and the last (as pictured up), the young girl dressed in her grandmother’s clothes, who still can’t let go of her childhood, represented by the elephant toy. Of course I would have loved to use a Philip Treacy head-piece creation for the styling of this shoot, but that only happens in my wildest dreams, in the same ones where it also happens that I am an internationally successful stylist, photographer and fashion designer. Lol, right?

Whoever did the styling for the John Galliano show: I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for proving to my father [who drove me to the trains museum location] and to my boyfriend [who made me question my creativity because of that styling decision] that I am not completely loca, nor am I insane, when I decided to put a toy on my model’s head. And if fashion still didn’t prove that to him, well then, at least I am not the only “crazy” person in this world! Mr. Galliano, if it was your genius mind who thought of this, then I may have to consider going to the shrink, [I wrote/meant that in the most flattering way ever].
