cecil beaton is a genius, is he not? not only did he take famous (and stunning) photographs from the likes of audrey hepburn and marilyn monroe, but he also designed the sets and costumes for films like my fair lady and gigi.
i think i’m starting to understand his style. floral prints, bold colours, victorian details, and feminine touches. lovely lovely. i thoroughly enjoyed his art direction from gigi and wanted to share some favourites…
and for those not familiar with cecil beaton, let me show you a few favourite photographs of his…
and mr. beaton himself…

The sets and look of Gigi are quite lovely.
wow. seriously gorgeous! i’ve never seen gigi actually – it’s in the netflix queue tho, thank you for reminding me to bump it up in priority!
