_I'm Currently Watching . . .








_'Memoirs of a Geisha' - on channel5, and absolutely loving it, I completely forgot how AMAZING this film is. The story of Nitta Sayuri and how she transcended her fishing-village roots and became one of Japan's most celebrated geisha. Directed by Rob Marshall and of Winner of three Academy Awards, It is both visually stunning and has a storyline to shame any other.

This incredible film reminded me of these amazing shots sent to me by a dear friend from Japanese Vogue's Decemeber 2008
issue, photographed by yelena yemchuck and styled by anastasia barbieri its such a beautiful shoot, with an incredible use of depth of field and the combinations of contemporary couture and classic Geisha dress.
