La Reine Victoria

I had to share the latest offering from French Elle, in which an iconic model, photographer and location come together to create a truly magnificent editorial.

Victoria Beckham poses for the lens of Karl Lagerfeld in the surrounding of Coco Chanel's apartment, above her namesake brand's flagship store on Rue Cambon, Paris. The title page shows Victoria sleeping on Coco's famed sofa, with a white tweed jacket draped over her like a blanket. Such a simple image, but with a very powerful story behind it. Also included is an image of her on the mirrored staircase from which Coco would watch audiences during her presentations, and a particularly powerful image of Victoria standing in front of the fireplace wearing a black cape. I really do love these images. They are a fitting homage to Coco Chanel - a true icon of fashion
