Life at Faire Frou Frou (According to Instagram)

all images via fairefroufrou on Instagram 

It's been a while since we shared our Life on Instagram over here on the blog!  A lot of sparkly events had taken place with the holiday season, which meant any excuse for sequins, extra jewelry and pops of color.  If anything is a constant with us, it's our love of wearing color, especially a bold pop of hot pink!
There are so many more inspiring images we have taken, as we try to post at least 1 photo a day over on Instagram.  If you have a smartphone then follow us under fairefroufrou, otherwise you can see us here.

Mirror, Mirror

images of Dasha Z by Nikolay Biryukov.  "Mirror, Mirror" exclusive for Fashion Gone Rogue

What immediately struck us about these images is that they seem to be a modern interpretation of Lillian Bassman's iconic lingerie images.  Though no matter where photographer Nikolay Biryukov found his inspiration, we love the classic simplicity of each shot.  A simple La Perla bra packs quite a punch with the dramatic lighting and striking poses.  We wonder if we will be admiring these images years from now, just as we have with Bassman's work?

Lingerie & Photography: David Bellemere

yes, we had to censor the above image (from Elle Russia)...you can see the original here.

It's been a while since we've done a Lingerie & Photography post...and it's wonderful to have a little something that's inspired us enough to share with you!
Originally this post was meant to feature the images shown below (from Marie Claire Italy) because they are a bit more lingerie specific...but we just ended up being more drawn to the lighter, more airy images above (from Elle Russia).  In any event, if we had to use just one word to describe his work it would be sensual.
All of the photography is by David Bellemere (whom we could not find a proper biography for online), but we are curious, which style do you like best; the above images or the ones below?

Not only do we have the most amazing customers around, but apparently the most talented!  Through Faire Frou Frou we were pleased to make the acquaintance of Los Angeles photographer Tyler Kandel, who shot a series of images titled "On Pointe" that included lingerie from our boutique.  The images are gorgeous, the lingerie is spectacular and the fact that the photos are ballet-themed is the pièce de résistance.  Each image seems to be as much about the light in the room as it is about the dancer, which is pretty breathtaking.  Kandel studied photography at Art Center College of Design and was recently amongst the Top 25 contestants at the 2010 International Photography Awards.  His portfolio is a great example of his range of talent as a photographer, which we recommend that you see here.

Do you have a favorite of the bunch?

Jonathan Leder; Swim & Lingerie Photos

those sparkle panties are too cute!

though not our favorite picture of the bunch, we love the lingerie set!

A little bit of web surfing led us to the photography of Jonathan Leder. In looking through his portfolio his images are raw, gritty and provocative. There are quite a few topless pictures that are wonderful as well, which you can see on his website. What's interesting is that you can tell by the styling & subject matter that this photographer must be in his thirties...or at least it seems evident to us. It's almost as though his capturing the vibe of his childhood years in his work.
Do you have a favorite? We love all of the swimwear pics!

Marnie Goodfriend Photography

Attached are just a few images from my recent photo shoot with Los Angeles-based photographer Marnie Goodfriend. We teamed up about a month ago for a whimsical shoot in the Hollywood Hills, and look how fun the images turned out! You get a great idea of Marnie's flair with color, light and overall styling. I felt like I was doing a shoot for a Kate Spade catalogue (speaking of the designer those electric blue silk heels are Kate Spade). Marnie supplied many of the props, clothes and accessories and really provided great direction through her gentle and insightful approach to her work.
For anyone in the Los Angeles area looking for a talented photographer who truly loves her trade, you can contact Marnie here.
Also, I highly recommend that you take a look at her website and blog to see more from her portfolio. Marnie really does a great job capturing touching moments, subtle gestures and life's small pleasures.

Heidilicious!

Heidi Klum is the face of photographer Rankin's newly published book titled Rankin's Heidilicious. The two have worked together over the past several years and the multitude of his photographs of Heidi are an expression of what she really is like. From the 20 or so pictures we've seen in the book, there are a lot of shots of Heidi topless, or covered in chocolate. We were hoping for more pin-up or lingerie...
We have a feeling that our favorite image is the one at the top of this post!
