Alice + Olivia RTW Fall 2012

So I'm loving the Alice+Olivia 2012 fall collection. There's so much to love about if from the 50-60's inspired silhouettes, the great textures, to the use of volume, all with a parisian flare.

About Abbe:

James Abbe is known for his photography of stage and cinema stars in the 20's and 30's. Through his pictures he captures the lure of the limelight. Instead of shooting in studio he'd shoot them on location on stage in full costume.
Besides using his photos for publicity he'd also sell them to Vogue and Vanity Fair,making him one of the first few to introduce media-induced celebrity. His impressive portfolio also documents the Spanish civil war, and the Nazis rise in Germany. Abbe also photographed all of the notorious European leaders during that time. James was a trendsetter for the practice of documentary reportage (candids).

Below is some of James Abbe's work
