New York, February 18–25, Spring Fashion

"New York’s “Spring Fashion” cover with actress Elle Fanning has artist Will Cotton revisiting Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl With a Pearl Earring” in pose, expression, and lighting, while Fanning’s Vivienne Westwood–inspired headpiece made of icing and designed by Cotton prepares readers for the stunning “Candy Land” portfolio inside the magazine. Cotton has been using candy in his artwork “as a metaphor for pure pleasure” since the late nineties, and used spring looks as inspiration for New York."

There are many reasons why I chose this picture as my favorite one of the reasons is that I like Elle Fanning I think she is really pretty and a good actress. Also I like how the photographer made a headpiece out of icing I thought that was very clever and excellent work I thought it was real flowers. I also like he tried to resemble the "Girl With The Pearl Earrings" in the portrait as well, Elle looks a little bit like the girl. The lighting in the photo is really good it emphasis her face well.
