Sasha Pivovarova by Nathaniel Goldberg for Vogue UK November 2005

On drizzly warm rainy spring days like these I just want to escape to some deep leafy forest (in a leopard trench, or course) and sit in a tree to listen as the rain falls on the canopy above me.

Browsing idly through photographers websites I came across this image. At first I glanced over it - her hair is not particularly well styled and her jacket, while being a gorgeous deep blue silk , is not shown well enough to really draw me in. The cropping and lighting is nice, but her eyes are unfocused which gives an odd vibe to the overall composition. She's almost looking at the camera, but not really? Just weird.

Then I saw it. That antler necklace. The raw silk cord fraying at the edges, the beauty of the curve, the texture of the bone, the iridescent pearls all come together to make this exquisite piece. I wonder how I could go about making one of these... I wonder who even made it in the first place! It would be such a striking alternative to all the bib necklaces turning up. I could see it paired with a relaxed simple black dress to really let the piece stand on its own. Now to go about finding a perfectly curved and unfinished antler...
