@stylethusiast- ha ha! No,no she was walking in! I think she had given her security guys the slip because just after we took this a guy came racing in behind her.
Wow, now this has to be the holy grail of Fashion Week photography right?! Incredible shot!
Also, I feel we're long overdue for a meet (fellow Australian in London, for me politics, rather than lawyer, turned fashion). We seem to have a ton of mutual friends and everytime I bumped into Hannah (Capture The Castle) at LFW, she kept saying 'oh, I need to introduce you to Vanessa but you just missed her', etc. etc.
@PD- I think maybe what happened is that traffic was banked up and Anna didn't want to be late for Marc so she got out of her car and walked.....and the security detail didn't realise until after she was almost in. The guy looked pretty stressed as he was running!
@Davidikus- they were there! We just spotted her first :)
@A Girl, A Style- hey you should have come said hello! I adore Hannah!! Although fashion week is one of those places where it is possible to miss bumping into people as there are always so many people around.
Oh my gosh! She looks so cute like a mogwai or Helena Bonham Carter's character in Planet of the Apes! ...And before everyone loses their s**t and thinks I'm insulting the Great Wintour... I'm not. I like her. Didn't give a damn about her until 'The September Issue'. Now I have a lot of respect for her. She's not an amazing woman but she is certainly a strong woman.
She just looks cute. And rather vulnerable. An excellent photograph not just because of the circumstances surrounding the 'capture'.
May: Basque country as a travel destination; lunch at Etxebarri (can't wait to try the smoked goat butter on grilled bread); toasted sourdough from Daylesford Organic with hummus and a drizzle of Joseph olive oil; Clover Club cocktails from Mishkins, Covent Garden (love the beautiful raspberry pink hue); Tibi dreamy, floaty mint dress (stunning. How beautiful would this be for an engagement dress?); Imitation Molly lace maxi dress (I photographed Ciara in a similar dress last year and fell in love with it); Imitation slate blue Ingrid dress (I think it has a faintly 40's/vintage feel); Zimmermann Devoted swimsuit (love the vintage corset feel to this swimsuit and the mesh/lace back); Alice + Olivia floral Cady cuff shorts (we in the UK can only dream of slipping a pair of these on right now! We are still in tights/coat weather ;); One Teaspoon crochet trim denim shirt dress (easy wear for festival season); Juicy Couture California '74 racer back tank; L.A.M.B sleeveless mini dress (perfect with a pair of flat sandals after a day at the beach); Monserat De Lucca Apple necklace (sweet as a gift for a best friend....or a well deserved present for yourself); All Saints Corrupt dress (love the rivet detailing); Etoile Isabel Marant Hana playsuit;Butter London Trout Pout nailpolish (despite the name, the colour is pretty!); Anthropologie Chaffinch shower curtain ('cos if you have to have a shower curtain, you want it to be pretty); Watching: Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom (I can't wait to see this movie! The visuals look incredible); Listening to: Rizzle Kicks Mama Do the Hump and Gotye Somebody That I Used to Know; Reading: Christopher Hitchens Arguably and Self Service Magazine; Technology: Springpad. Brilliant for bookmarking/creating notepads. I use it for my travel wishlist
I am an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London;
I take a thousand photographs every day - some in my head, some with my camera;
I can't imagine doing anything else with my life- I am totally and utterly in love with my camera and with the people and things I photograph
wow, how did you manage to get her to stand still for a photo? she's gorgeous, as ever...

I am amazed: how did you manage to get the crowd of photographers which always follows her out of the pic?

Where's her entourage of bodyguards? How did you do this??? Brilliant capture.
ReplyDeleteAnd she can't give up these furs, can she?
