We pause for Alber...

I've clearly once again reached that stretch of the month (er, season?) where work and commitments and other busyness pile up, and I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to spend on the blog. (Oh, if only we were all as prolific as the amazing Susie B.! Sometimes, I just don't know how she does it...) I'm much more active on the Twitter these days, if that is something you would like to follow.

But I digress. I was digging around in my photo archives for images for a post I was concocting, and instead stumbled upon a pile of snaps I took when I got to tag along on a photo shoot with Lanvin's Alber Elbaz in Beijing's Forbidden City back in 2005. The shoot eventually ran in the Asia Pacific editions of Elle mag (final layouts at the end, just so you can see the end result). It was a pretty awesome/magical/unique thing to witness, and I thought you'd like a peek at some of the behind-the-scenes shots.


The incomparable Mr. Elbaz really is as adorable/good spirited/creative as they say. As you can probably see from him cheerily rolling around on the bricked pavilions of the palace in the stifling heat of summer.

OK, back to the To Do list. More soon!
