A haunting slow jazz tune provides the ambience to the behind-the-scenes video of our “Ain’t She Sweet” Spring 2012 editorial. Savoir Flair captures the mood of the season with a retro-inspired photoshoot that blends modern style with old world decadence. In this video, the camera zooms in on the sumptuous details that populate the photographs, like dried flower buds and exquisitely old-fashioned décor. As our model, Fanny Francois, poses in baroque embroidered gowns or plunging drop waist dresses, she absently fingers the giant statement necklaces around her neck. Demure with a dash of wanton escapism is the message of the shoot. Ain’t it sweet?
