Bouffant. Pompadour. Chignon. I'd like to dedicate this Valentine's Day post to something I love: hair. Let's start with a major influence for the quilling "Coiffure Series"--Charles Dana Gibson's wallpaper design. While most of his illustrations could be found in the pages of Life or Harper's, this one was designed as wallpaper for bachelor's rooms. Dirty.
A modern Gibson Girl hairstyle. Gibson Girls were considered the "ideal women" of the early 1900's and were characterized by their extravagant hairstyles and tiny waistlines. I would just like to say that this hairstyle is sick. It's elegant, dramatic, and just plain fierce.
Let them eat cake! Vintage French was the inspiration for this shoot that draws heavily from Rococo influences from the 1700 and 1800s combined with a bit of today’s aesthetic. Rococo embodies all that is lavish and luxe. Intricate patterns, complex forms, and asymmetrical compositions with a few oriental motif accents are seen throughout this styled shoot. The ruffles and folds in the rich butter cream frosting, the delicate layers of lace draped over the dinner table, a huge petal packed bouquet, grand wallpaper paired with a dramatic chandelier, and a whimsical yet regal invitation suite all refined and fanciful elements in gorgeous Rococo style. Thanks to Bows and Arrows for creating this fun shoot!
