Here we see a fashion bride photo shoot by Gabriele Fogli with a romantic mood, ethereal, suspended in time inspired by the painting art of Giovanni Boldini and the poetry of Shakespeare‘s tales.Who was Giovanni Boldini? He was one of the most popular painters of the aristocracy of the Belle Epoque: Giovanni Boldini was an artist who knew how to portray women with a sensitivity that enhances the beauty and movement. Giovanni Boldini, portrait and painter and traveler, lived between 1842 and 1931 among Italy, England and France. He loved the luxury of the aristocracy and the pretty girls that he fascinated with his great personality. In his love life, there were many love stories, storms and twists. His female figures are self-confident, strong and determined to succeed in life and in society.

Determination, tenderness, coquetry or strength of mind: every canvas of Giovanni Boldini is a study about men and women.
The idea of continuous movement. The characters of his work are depicted as if they were pictures taken during the action, like photographs from long exposure where the bottom is moving and the subject will be frozen by a slight stroke of flash.

Behind the creative concept of this amazing fashion story and photo project there is a dual inspirational source.
We see the portraits, the dynamic movement in frozen situations, we see the luxurious atmosphere of the environments, we appreciate the soft colors. everything bring to the Giovanni Boldini’s paintings.

In the other hand the mood evoked thanks to strong design and a set of impact squeeze the eye the imaginative creativity of Shakespeare and especially to his play Midsummer Night’s Dream: a play that conjures magic and supernatural love to create a fairytale world.

“romance, dreams and the wild feeling of everlasting love“…

As scenery of this fashion story, Gabriele Fogli chose Sorrento, not far from Naples in Italy. The location of this shooting day was the luxurious Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Italy. The hotel sits atop a cliff above the shining waters of the Gulf of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius rising proudly in the distance. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is famous for its terrace and breath-taking views, it’s positively enthralling and a great backdrop for enchanting bridal fashion editorial shooting.
The bride is draped in Enzo Miccio dresses.

The end result is a photo project accurate and refined as if it were an advertising shoot rather than a fashion editorial.The fashion bride, Madeline @ Monster Milano with porcelain fragility, waits anxiously for her love. Her hair is styled in waves, swept back in a crown of flowers –almost nymph-like.

Which woman does not dream, even for once, to own a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes?

Jimmy, the Malaysian designer, actually resident in London came from a small workshop in the suburbs of the British underground. He owes his fortune to a editorial article of eight pages on Vogue magazine and the undisputed taste of Princess Diana, who preferred his shoes among all other brands. And how can she be wrong?

It’s a dream to wear Jimmy Choo shoes, and what better occasion than the day of her marriage. This is exactly what our bride Elizabeth decided to do when she chose these charming white Jimmy Choo with a simple wrap front, a small plateau and ankle straps to be even more beautiful and slender on 12 cm heels.

So beautiful as to gain a place in the wedding photo album, so here we find Elizabeth, the veil and her Jimmy Choo!
