Madonna goes for Posh…

Famous stylist and costume designer Arianne Philips has been working with the material girl for many years now and is responsible for her latest looks seen here in a portfolio for her new album ‘American Life’. The black zippered fifties style dress below is from Victoria Beckham’s latest collection of vintage inspired classic wear while the sequinned gown above is an original 50’s vintage piece bought from ‘The Way we Were’ a vintage store in L.A and from the owners own private collection no less!

Arianne says:

‘’The dress is reminiscent of our original inspiration for the shoot – the 1963 Jeanne Moreau film ‘Bay of Angels’. Madonna insisted on some 50’s and 60’s pieces to mix with contemporary designer fashions’’

Arianne also spoke about how she particularly liked the idea of the Beckham dress being used as it was in keeping with fashion-in-music theme ‘’ being passed from one pop-star to another’’ I’m sure ol’ Posh was thrilled to be mentioned in the same sentence never mind have Madge immortalise one of her frocks!

We at Perk Up! would like to present to you one of our own 50’s original black wiggle dresses below left accompanied by a 70′s -50′s style - glam evening dress to the right… Madonna was unavailable to model so we used ‘Madge the Mannequin’ instead – click on and enjoy…
