I love the song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. I used to sing it all the time...such a lovely song. It's still one of my favorites. The reason I decided to write about it is because I found an editorial about Romeo and Juliet featured in Vogue US 2008. It's called "Love of a Lifetime" and it was photographed by Annie Leibowitz. Ballet dancer Roberto Bolle was invited by Vogue magazine to star alongside model Coco Rocha in this fashionable version of Romeo&Juliet. Juliet - aka Coco - parades in couture dresses, among which, one signed by Christian Lacroix (ball scene) and a gorgeous Alexander McQueen red silk tulle gown used for the tragic end scene. Each of the images remind me of a particular line from the song.
We were both young when I fist saw you, I close my eyes and the flashbacks starts, I am standing there...on a balcony in summer air...
See the lights, see the party, the ball gown; See you make your way through the crowd and say Hello...
You were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles...My daddy said,"stay away from Juliet"...
I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet coz we're dead if they knew..so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while.....
This Love is difficult but it's real...Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess...
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around, my faith in you was fading....
Marry Me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone, I talked to your Dad, go pick out a white dress...
It's a Love Story, Baby just say "YES".....
I hope you guys liked my rendition of this editorial..haha...Have a great Friday :)
