Inspiring glamour of the 30s, Water for Elephants

Peter Lindbergh for Vogue

If you know anything about Ella, well... this is her. Watching Water for Elephants you are transported by the masterpieces created by the costume designer Jacqueline West perfectly complimented by Jean Black and Frída Aradóttir's make-up and hair.




"It was realistically portraying through the costumes the contrast between the austerity of the Depression circus-goers and the glitzy glamour of the circus performers"_ J. West.

"Before filming started, we constructed a circus tent dressing room and made these gowns right on Reese's body," West says. "She did research on the style of the 1930s and watched old movies in order to do a complete character study. She's an amazing actress."

Read more about West's inspiration for the movie in this full interview. Below are some of the photos of the editorial of American Vogue inspired by the movie and shot by my most admired photographer Peter Lindbergh. Learn more about him in my previous posts and follow him on facebook.
