In a previously published version of this post, I misspelled the artist's name. My apologies to Lucia Giacani!
Lucia Giacani captures these women like only another woman could. Giacani, an Italian freelance fashion photographer, has worked with such figureheads as
Vogue, Harrods, and
Glamour, to name just a few. She can even make
food look like high fashion!
She based this collection on Russian religious icons. If you've ever stepped foot into an Orthodox church (or even an old Catholic cathedral, for that matter), then you've seen these women immortalized in hues of gold. They're always delicate, dainty, and often oddly-proportioned. Giacani recreated them wonderfully with this collection.
