‘India Song’

• Wow Preston! Everything about this is…gorgeous. The surroundings, the clothes, the accessories, the hair, the make-up. Adding to all this glamour is her posture. Extraordinary elegance. Thank you for posting.

• “India Song” is also the name of a gorgeous Marguerite Duras film about French ennui in Indochina, and the eponymous title song from that film, sung by Jeanne Moreau, is one of my favourite songs ever.

• A nod, it seems, to Richard Avedon. Who was that model from his shoot in India in the early 60s?

• The model is Vittoria Ceretti.

• I don’t usually become obsessed with models, but I find Vittoria mesmerising in everything she appears in. A bit like Amber Valetta. There is just something timeless about her. These pictures are divine too. I love the fur coat (is it The Row?). Sadly, there’s no season to wear fur here in Australia!

• This feature is everything I and my life are not…..and yet I find so compelling. The last shot deserves a long look.

• So evocative of Norman Parkinson’s photos taken in Rajasthan. Kind of heartening to see that not much has changed.

• This is lovely – and yes, very Norman Parkinson.
