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…

how i’ve lived so long and not seen 
solid colours, clean cuts, and tailored fits. impeccable. may we also mention this stunning black lace number with the mask and sparkled eye shadow??? oh my!!
not only is the wardrobe heavenly, but peter o’toole is such a dreamboat! so charming! i can’t get over how fun and playful this film is. highly recommended!
perfection.
yes, i believe an audrey lifestyle would be more than fitting, no?
