Hothouse Flowers ~ Vogue January 2013

I’ve been looking at this editorial 

in Vogue’s January 2013 issue all morning.

It honestly just has everything.

Carolyn Murphy and Karen Elson by Steven Klein for Vogue Jan 2013

A fabulous take on spring’s new,

modern and minimal look,

paired with prints, luxe fabrics and structured shapes.

Photographed by Steven Klein

and styled by arguably the greatest of them all,

Grace Coddington,

with phenominal makeup by Stephane Marais

and magnificent hair by Julien d’Ys,

models Karen Elson and Carolyn Murphy 

cavort through a brilliant and madcap story

of Hothouse Flowers.

I couldn’t love it more…
