Curiouser and Curiouser

At the end of 2009 one of the things I was most looking forward to about the new year was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (I've never watched a film in 3D before, I think this should be my first), which is finally out in March. Alice in Wonderland was one of my first ever video tapes as a child, and Lewis Carroll's story still fascinates me.
And one of my all time favourite editorials is US Vogue's Alice in Wonderland. Staring Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and I'm guessing - I can't find any styling credits online to confirm this - styled by Grace Coddington, it is simply stunning.
It's a shoot I'm sure you've all seen a billion times before (can you believe it's from December 2003? It doesn't feel that old), but it's so gorgeous it can't hurt to view it again, can it?









I've cut three images out because I felt this post was going on a bit, but you can view the shoot in full, with the fashion credits HERE. And you can watch the Alice in Wonderland trailer HERE.
Is anyone else as insanely excited as I am about this film?

Want to go to a Vogue Shoot?

This Thursday and Friday in London you will be able to a watch a live Vogue photoshoot at Somerset House.
Nick Knight will be snapping Natalia Vodianova until 9pm both days, in a photoshoot based around fairytales. Designers have custom-made outfits for the shoot, which will then be sold at auction, with all proceeds going to The Naked Heart Foundation - Natalia's charity.
It sounds like an exciting shoot - I'm definitely going to try and get down there. I'm not the biggest Natalia but she's fantastic in narrative editorials - especially those with a fairytale theme. Her Alice in Wonderland Vogue shoot still blows my mind, and I loved the Little Red Riding Hood shoot, which she did for US Vogue earlier in the year.
