STEAMPUNK MEETS VICTORIANA

Today I have a styled shoot for you that's quite frankly off the charts--a bit Victorian and a tad Steampunk.  French photographer, Alizee Fonvielle of Modaliza Photographie shot this incredible 19th Century French Lit meets Paris fashion with a team of talented creators in the French countryside near Bordeaux. The original styling you see here was co-created with Melianwing, editor of Le Petit Journal des Mariages Rétro, a French blog site devoted to vintage weddings.  Melanwing had this to say about creating the concept for this editorial: "It was important to me, as an editor to transform one of my favourite literature genres into an original and inspirational work. I've put a lot of me in it to show my readers my own ideas. It was a great partnership and a wonderful experience for all of us"

Said Alizee about the project:"Steampunk is a science fiction genre inspired by the Victorian era and the Industrial Revolution.  Most of this literature came from British culture but one of its well-known fathers is Jules Verne, the famous French writer.  In this styled bridal shoot, we wanted to show how interesting this genre can be as a theme for a vintage wedding (or even for book lovers) 

and how it could be developed 'à la française' 

 "We created a vintage romantic theme evoking an elegant, poetic and almost magical atmosphere in a lovely French park (with a Gustave Eiffel glass house and a XVIII century castle). 

We chose to develop three themes and styles to present the many possibilities of the genre :

 First, in white, black and purple : Thoughts of love – the romantic promenade of a blushing bride-to-be thinking of her fiancé…

 Then, in white and black : Fairytale – a curious fairytale princess lost in the contemplation of the beautiful garden …

 Finally, in ivory, gold and brown : Imaginary travels – an elegant Victorian lady living imaginary adventures, ready for the more romantic of them all : Marriage…"
