As I was browsing CRFashionBook.com I noticed the image with the Van Cleef & Arpels Dragonfly clip propped onto the model’s lips seemed especially familiar. Then the potential source of inspiration for the image clicked - Bee on Lips! I recalled last seeing the Irving Penn image during the HBO Documentary, In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye. When I googled to confirm the image, I discovered on Fashionista.com (by way of one of my favorite blogs, Part Nouveau) that Interview Magazine may have also had a similar source of inspiration for their cover girl Lana Del Rey. Little bit of Fashion History - you’re welcome.
