_From Here to Eternity








_"Black, bows and Brigitte Bardot looks: Tailored suits and dresses with more than a soupcon of the early Sixties take on a certain raciness in the incongruous environment of a windswept beach."

But for me, its 'nout about that - Lara Stone's features (and attributes) lend themsleves perfectly to 'Catholic Chola done Good' - Kind of the trashy Mexican girl who married the plantation owner (is that racist? . . . meh) Loving the chola hair and make-up (weave and lip liner is always a winner) and the porn star body mixed with tight, formal and almost 'Sunday best' super brands - Classic Inez and Vinoodh (I will later mention another shot from this shoot that seems to keep on re-appearing in thier work) - non the less, it reminds me of Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo+Juliet' in its pure and excessive brilliance.
