Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are famed fashion photographers who primarily work as a team taking photos of sophisticated, strong and graceful women, emoting sensuality and confidence.

A lot of effort goes into styling, both physically and through production of digital manipulation, and the importance of narrative – think Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Tom Ford campaigns and editorials. Their work is influenced by French photographer, the late Guy Bourdin.

I love this “Sunday at the Park” editorial of Lara Stone, Edita Vilkeviciute and Guinevere van Seenus, because it is a nod back to the 1910s-30s style I am obsessed with. It has me thinking of English Country House lusciousness (Gosford Park, Atonement, Brideshead Revisited…) so we also have stylist Alex White to thank for that. See more from Alex White, via W magazine, here.

See our English Country House Weekend style of the 1910s-30s photo gallery too.
