Return of the Jedi: C & C in Allure August 2009
by Beatrix K posted on July 17, 2009With the summer success of the Star Trek reboot, sci-fi is chic once again – and the fashion world certainly takes notice (Or was it actually foreshadowed, since photoshoots take place months before?). In the latest issue of Allure, Patrick Demarchelier directs French beauties Constance Jablonski and Charlotte di Calypso to take hold of Star Wars lightsaber-esque props and position themselves as female warriors prepared to guard a darkened fort. With fashion editor Paul Cavaco at the helm, most of the major brands that presented neon hues in their collections are represented in the few pages, and everything is overcast with an ethereal glow, making the dresses and accessories more eye-catching than ever before.
The most intriguing shot is perhaps the fourth, with the models gazing intently at one another like a leaders’ meeting of two galactic planets. There is little to distract from the exquisite Jil Sander dresses and the specifically-designed makeup, and the entire shot provides us all with a longing for both what’s presented on the page, as well as what fascinating stories rest ahead for the future of our world.
