@stylethusiast- ha ha! No,no she was walking in! I think she had given her security guys the slip because just after we took this a guy came racing in behind her.
Wow, now this has to be the holy grail of Fashion Week photography right?! Incredible shot!
Also, I feel we're long overdue for a meet (fellow Australian in London, for me politics, rather than lawyer, turned fashion). We seem to have a ton of mutual friends and everytime I bumped into Hannah (Capture The Castle) at LFW, she kept saying 'oh, I need to introduce you to Vanessa but you just missed her', etc. etc.
@PD- I think maybe what happened is that traffic was banked up and Anna didn't want to be late for Marc so she got out of her car and walked.....and the security detail didn't realise until after she was almost in. The guy looked pretty stressed as he was running!
@Davidikus- they were there! We just spotted her first :)
@A Girl, A Style- hey you should have come said hello! I adore Hannah!! Although fashion week is one of those places where it is possible to miss bumping into people as there are always so many people around.
Oh my gosh! She looks so cute like a mogwai or Helena Bonham Carter's character in Planet of the Apes! ...And before everyone loses their s**t and thinks I'm insulting the Great Wintour... I'm not. I like her. Didn't give a damn about her until 'The September Issue'. Now I have a lot of respect for her. She's not an amazing woman but she is certainly a strong woman.
She just looks cute. And rather vulnerable. An excellent photograph not just because of the circumstances surrounding the 'capture'.
June: Portugal as a travel destination; Grilled fish in the sun (I hope!) followed by pastel de nata(s) with strong coffee; Lattes at The Monocle Coffee Shop, London; Inspired by a wonderful tarte tatin I had in Australia, I am attempting this recipe for a suitably sticky and caramely fine apple tart this month; Rory Beca Keala front panel dress (a super easy tunic dress to throw on after a day spent at the beach. Team with gladiator sandals for a casual look or heels to dress it up); Rosamosario Lovers En Space striped bikini (frills for grown-up girls); Free People washed cord overalls (love the more tailored style of these overalls....perfect if you don't like the relaxed fit overalls); Citizens of Humanity Anja Maxi skirt; Christopher Kane floral-print hooded sweatshirt (love the print....and the hood gives it an edge); Soludos classic striped espadrilles (holiday wear! So pretty with sunkissed skin and lovely white dress) or try the more luxurious option in these Valentino lace espadrilles (beautiful); Topshop Moto vintage midi denim dress; Thakoon pleated poplin shirt dress (so pretty and fresh); Topshop oversized crop sweater (love the pretty spearmint colour); Reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson; Currently Burning: Diptyque Roses candle (I have the mini version of this and it is so beautiful).
I am an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London;
I take a thousand photographs every day - some in my head, some with my camera;
I can't imagine doing anything else with my life- I am totally and utterly in love with my camera and with the people and things I photograph
wow, how did you manage to get her to stand still for a photo? she's gorgeous, as ever...

I am amazed: how did you manage to get the crowd of photographers which always follows her out of the pic?

Where's her entourage of bodyguards? How did you do this??? Brilliant capture.
ReplyDeleteAnd she can't give up these furs, can she?
