Wendybird


I love the picture above. Although looking at it is rather bitter sweet - and maybe it's just my mood lately - but I honestly can't remember the last time I embraced anyone like that, or shared any hug for that matter, which is sad, and embarrassing to admit. But enough about my silly woes. On to these gorgeous photographs by Ellen von Unwerth. They are behind-the-scene shots from "Wendybird", the short film for designer Erin Fetherston's A/W 2006 collection, featuring Kirsten Dunst (that's Erin and Kirsten in the first photo).



The film tells the story of a group of girls who escape their dull lives for a while when they find a fairy box of clothes, and then the usually monotonous lunch-break afternoon becomes a joyous and playful one. Filled with childhood games, giggles, and pretty dresses. Perfect.

If you have several minutes to escape also, then go ahead and grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back, relax, and join them:

Claradevi said...

Crazy beautiful... I thought the photos are stunning enough but not until I saw the video! So magical and dreamy... with beautiful songs. Have you seen the movie yet? I think I need to find it by now!

And by the way, I'm sending you tight hugs from here! Hugs from caring friends - and hopefully we can made it at the coming meet-up in jogja! :)

Lovely frames and video Anna! I remember the directors work from those old photographs for Guess when I was in high school. So influential at the time.

Sending you a huge hug from Los Angeles and one from George too, he's quite huggable I gotta tell ya. :)

I love that video. Could watch it on repeat for awhile.

P.S. I'm similar on hugs...only I don't like hugging people so that's generally why it is a long time between occasions.

i luv kirsten dunst!

she's so cute and stylish..

love the pics...

Diane said...

Gorgeous photos! I can't view the video at this moment because I may wake the parents (oh, the woes of living at home after undergrad school) and I am sans headphones.

Here's a virtually tight and heartwarming hug from me! Sorry it's not a real one, and sorry that it's from me, haha.

Ambroisine said...

cait harri said...

I love this video and the collection wasn't bad either :)

I can't believe I haven't seen your blog before. I LOVE it. I'm adding you to my favourites right now!

Ariella said...

Oh dear, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photographs and that video. I really miss hugs like that too.

Aya Smith said...

Beautiful photos! It broke my heart to read what you said about the first photo... but at the same time, I don't hug too many people like that either... :( I think it's easy for us humans to be too cold at times... to humble ourselves and display such deep signs of affection.

Sam said...

Oh these are gorgeous!! I'm forever hugging my boyfriend and Dad (and my Dad's cat Harry!!) but I never hug friends like that - I'm always worried that they may not like it - I would feel awkward doing it I think!

babalisme said...

I love it!! But on the third picture, the girl on top right (our side) looks a little bit like Kirsten Dunst, has anybody else realized it?

Mo said...

ana b. said...

Totally gorgeous and much needed by me during this quite drab grey day. If I saw you, Anna, I'd give you a hug just like the picture on top. xoxo

Emily said...

Delightful video! The music was very fitting. I loved it :) Big embraces like the one in the photo are special things. I like to hug friends and family, but haven't had one like that in a while. Just wait, I'm sure you'll get lots of hugs on your trip! :)
