Milena Canonero for Marie Antoinette

I love costuming. I love period pieces. My fav is 18th century. So the luscious "Marie Antoinette" is all me.

I love the approach costumer Milena Canonero took for this film. Every scene is saturated with something beautiful. This is also without question thanks to impeccable production and set design by K.K. Barrett and Véronique Melery.

I have that Vogue featuring the Pink Dress on the cover, and I think those scenes were ultimately cut from the movie. But it's hard to notice because there are SO MANY DRESSES. And I don't mean for the whole cast, I mean for Kirsten alone! Don't believe it??? Please visit the Costumer's Guide for a full list with pics!! http://www.costumersguide.com/cr_ma.shtml

I have about seven fav Marie dresses from the movie, this is one of them.

Another fav look

...and another fav!

If you're a fan of design, I highly recommend Marie Antoinette. It definitely gave me my Rococo Fix!!

Also known as L.A. Williams. LOVE ↓

Kith and Kin

This is my print. I love this print. I'm looking at it right now. It's blowing my mind. If you don't have this print, I feel a little sorry for you for missing out.

Note to collectors: Allen Williams is also an artist who has done work featuring dark-skin women of color, which is extremely awesome, because it's kinda rare in the SciFi/Fantasy circles. In addition to Kith and Kin, there's another great piece titled "Prelude" which is just beautiful. (Sadly, someone has "misplaced" my print of this. That's okay, I'll kill'em....) You should check it out!
