{ A Journey } For June

June 26, 2012

|PHOTOGRAPHY| by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg |STYLING| by Kelly Framel

Together, two friends traded the streets of the Big Apple for the souks of Morocco. Their weary eyes were relighted by the simple but sumptuous comforts this African oasis laid in store. They saw poetry in the littlest moments ~ an arabesque on every surface and tassels dotting all parasols. They were enchanted. They talked and laughed and danced and dreamed their way around Marrakech. In mind and in matter, inspiring ephemera quickly accrued; they began collecting little pieces of jewelry and tasseled hats and perfume flasks and cotton pants, woven by practiced hands. With wide, childlike eyes, the two friends took in as much as they could, and returned home determined to transmit every bit of that inspiration over to you…

    Absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and sumptuous. I’m lusting after a new pair of sunglasses, and it looks like Karen Walker might have to be it – her sunglasses are just so striking and cool without being try-hard.

    Most of these shots are beautiful, as is the model and the styling. You’re clearly a wonderfully talented stylist and your work with this photographer is always good. But I do wish you would retire these tired, cringe worthy, 19th century orientalist cliches, (which are far more apparent in your writing here, and in your writing on your visit to Morocco than in the photos themselves), because, firstly, they diminish the beauty of your work and are not worthy of you, and because, secondly, frankly, they are offensive and dated. Some of what you write about Morocco makes you sound, though I know that it must not be true of you, as though you were a European traveler in 1850s looking at the sumptuous palaces and clothes and ignoring every reality – imagining your Orient, in other words, as you would like it to be. Edward Said said it best – and far better than I can here – in his classic “Orientalism”, which I would commend you to read if you plan to venture forth into this territory again. Please, don’t take this as a criticism of your work as a stylist, which is superb.

      unfortunately, orientalism, creating and building an exotic fantasy around a place to fulfill your own perception of myth and reality, is alive and well among many, whether they be stylists in the fashion industry, writers, filmmakers, poets. it is a construct very much so ingrained in our western culture, and will take much effort to erode, so that we can move forward with an honest, untainted eye.

      thanks for bringing attention to this!

      Well said. Finally someone have the bravery to comment politically on a fashion blog.

    Wow, I love all of these pieces. The moving ones are really cool. That was also a really poetic story, I don’t know if you wrote it though? My favourite part about all of the outfits is the accessories. The lampshade hat, the head jewelry, it was all so pretty.

  • Heather Lou

    Kelly, I love that you guys didn’t photoshop the shit out of her face. It’s refreshing to see REAL texture on someone’s skin and not an airbrushed fantasy of what humans look like. BRAVA!

    • Litenarata

      Are you serious? I didn’t notice any huge flaws, but I found the caked-on make-up incredibly distracting.

  • Barbabella

    There’s nothing I don’t love about this editorial!! These pictures are just great – the colours, the mood, the light, the shaddows … No need to say that your styling ist perfect and the model is beyond beautiful!!

    Oh my goodness, Kelly. These shots are AMAZING. So speechless right now. The model, the outfits, the style.. you are an incredible stylist.

    Loving the Eugenia Kim hat.

  • GW

    It is a construct ingrained in every culture. It is only offensive because it displays a level of ignorance, particularly one that is often linked to British Imperialism–not because it is uniquely Western.

  • Disappointed

    Hey, Kelly – Pretty shoot. Wondering why I am getting SPAM email from you to join Podio? Do you sell the email addresses of people who post here?

    • Anonymous

      Oh my goodness I would never do that! I am so sorry you received this email. There was an error in my studio when we were getting set up on a new mail system and our some of our contacts were unintentionally spammed along the way. Because of this, I am not using and do not endorse that program. I sincerely apologize for the annoyance.

    I got to agreed with a fellow commenter, her make up is seriously flawed. There is SO much make up on her face, distract from a rather stunning and well put together shoot.

    This is amazing. Sometimes I get the feeling that certain bloggers are doing editorial style photography solely for themselves and at times, I feel the main goal is to impress the readers with their clothes or accessories. This is not the case here…here, this editorial was done just right. Artistic, professional, current and in tune with its subject…Morroco. I think your purpose is not to impress but to inspire…and for me, you have done exactly that. Thank you for this inspiration post and display of beauty, creativity and fashion! Xoxoxo

  • http://twitter.com/CampusSartorial Campus Sartorialist

    Beautiful photos! While I agree with not abusing orientalism(note that Morocco is not in the Orient) on a visit to Morocco or I believe the main reason people are drawn to the “orient” is the remnants of the elements captured in this editorial. Why not detach from the some of the ugly truths of our modern age and let our imaginations travel back and forth in time?

    • StalkingIsAllowed.Com

      Couldn’t agree more!

    • Guest

      Morocco is not in the Orient? Are you serious? That alone delegitimizes your entire comment.

    This is a breathtaking editorial. I cannot express properly how stunned and amazed I am. You did such a wonderful job with it, I can only congratulate you endlessly. The model is gorgeous, the clothes are beautiful, the pictures are perfectly-well taken. And the animations idea is genius … I think it was a perfect idea for an online editorial! Congrats again! x

    Lovely! Just dont like all the stretched out shots, it takes me 3 ‘page-down’s to skip from beginning to end of any single stretched out photo (my monitore is pretty large) – I dont like not seeting the entire shot at once, I am ‘not getting the big picture’ :( Just have to keep skipping down until a normal size picture comes along…
