British Vogue "Make Do & Mend" November 09

The November Issue of British Vogue is titled "Dash Cash": it is not simply to buy inexpensive clothes, but to use imagination to put the whole look together. In the shoot "Make Do & Mend" 3 brilliant stylists have transformed everyday objects into extraordinary fashion pieces. It's about creative solutions borne out of necessity. One of the coolest concepts for a magazine shoot for a long while.... BRILLIANT!
