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…

in the know.
you make my heart happy.
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
