What's a Stamp?


So apparently there used to be this mysterious practice of putting a thing called a letter into another thing called an envelope and putting them into a non-virtual mailbox as a means of communication. I have no idea if this is fact or some kind of myth, but these "stamps" as they're called are beautiful, and although they're not a typical fashion editorial, I really wanted to highlight them because they're so great. I really like the fact the humans have been edited out of the shots, so the focus is solely on the clothes. Great decision by either the photographer or art director. 

The movement in this shot is breathtaking. The fringe is flowing, her hair is jumping, and it feels like the model is about to jump out of the frame. Embodying 1970s fashion to the core, this image is fun and full of life. 




Elegant and sophisticated, this is totally different from the stamp above. I feel like this could be seen on the cover of any fashion magazine. The lighting on the golden trim is really stunning. 

This might be my favorite stamp just because it's so fun and full of personality. I can imagine the face of the model that belongs in this shot. The clothes are highlighted beautifully, the pose fills the frame, and any envelope with this on it instantly becomes fashionable. 

Honoring the late McQueen, the photography on this is beautiful. You can see almost every feather on the dress, and the pose is great. The black plays off the white background beautifully, and this is a perfect homage to the great designer.
