Abbey Lee Kershaw plays a modern day Miss Havisham in ‘Grey Gardens’ a tale of Great Expectation told by Fabien Baron for Interview Magazine. Looking back to see ahead, get lost in the wonder of Versailles. Stylist, Ludivine Poiblanc, invites us to explore another world through the opulent use of modern fabrics. Apocalyptic artistry dares to defy amid avant-garde designs that invite the extreme. Fashion finds its way with faded florets done in shades of grey. Haute Couture erupts with Alexander McQueen, Comme des Garçons. Dior, Early Halloween Vintage, Maison Margiela, Miu Miu, New York Vintage, Prada & Uniqlo. Beauty is as beauty does, (Makeup Artist) Yadim divines the neo-future with darkened eyes that transfix the soul. With bleached out brows and powdered skin the wake of whiteness danes to begin. Blackened liner bleeds down the face as the eyes tell a story of time erased. Hairstylist, James Pecis, delivers extreme millinery with haute head-wraps worn in daunting display. Eras evolve as we play to the past and fly to the future. This powerful piece pays homage to Charles Dickens, and The Beautiful Decay of Edith Bouvier Beale.
Ghostly images
in shades of grey
torn in tatters
made to stay
bleached out brows
and powdered skin
the wake of whiteness
danes to begin
as blackened liner
bleeds down the face
eyes tell a story
of time erased
a lilith band
of breaking bad
a star filled fantasy
that turns to sad
Great Expectations
I dare to say
are a warning of
a beautiful decay.
