"A Beautiful Mess.. Too Many Trends, Not Enough Statements.."

Always ahead of the pack with creative concepts, Bergdorf Goodman presented a shoot for their Spring Summer 08 magazine titled “In Realms Fantastical & Strange”. With a mystical quality akin to Lord of the Rings, Roald Dahl and The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, this magical shoot by photographer, Yelena Yemchuk creates an atmosphere of wonder and awe.

Using iconic children’s fantasies of carousels, woodland creatures, circus acts, fairies and playgrounds of dolls, this shoot allows the viewer to remember those times of embracing your imagination where anything and everything was possible.

The ever-mysterious Norwegian top model Siri Tollerød suited the brief beautifully with her mix of innocence, astonishment and child-like features. The styling is evocative…. cleverly blending designer names like Prada, Miu Miu and Valentino in unexpected moods and settings. - Kate Vandermeer
