Do You Match Your Chiselled Cheekbones to Your Jacket?

IMG_8861-1

I noticed something interesting in the September British Vogue (had to rush to get this post in, the October issue arrived this morning - yes, there is Saturday postal service on Saturdays). One of their editorial spreads was all about using the latest in-demand models to present autumn's sharply cut and geometric designs. So what's different about that? The models in this spread weren't just clothes horses but were named, and their features matched to the clothes they were wearing. Above: "A jewelled collar illuminates Ukrainian-born Natalia Chabanenko's flawless skin, and adds nobility to Fendi's sharp-shouldered Persian-shearling dress".

And so on:

"Corners and curves: Anna Jagodzinska's chiselled cheekbones and Rick Owens's sculpted leather jacket create an alien beauty"

"Anna Jagodzinka plays up Givenchy's couture workmanship with a twist of gobstopper pearls". Okay, this look had nothing really to do with her, I'm sure she didn't choose the pearls. This dress stands on its own; the wearer does it justice by providing a blank slate. I'm drooling my face off over this incredible, anachronistic piece:
