It doesn't matter how in LOVE you are with fashion, sometimes it gets a little bit monotonous. That's why, when I come across an editorial or feature that explores color, form, texture, and composition in an unapologetic way I get very excited and have to share my finds as soon as possible! And to realize that my color theory classes paid off!

This editorial is, while not complicated or overachieving (in terms of elaborate set construction or provocative posing of some fashion model I've never heard of but "need" to know), an exquisite look at the color and silhouette trends of the season. Here, Emily Blunt is photographed by Paola Kudacki for Harper's Bazaar UK January 2011 issue.

Above, Blunt (in Tom Ford), depicts the movement of the fringe fad in the most elegant way.

And here two toned, jewel toned, ensembles are all the rage and keep things youthfully daring while remaining conventionally comfortable, silhouette wise.

Above and bellow brilliant orange in deep and light shades bring light to even the most stark environments.

Do you think this was an Exquisetly Blunt fashion editorial?

Have you ever wandered across a fashion editorial that took your breath away?

The first time this happened to me, I was flipping through a Vogue when I was about 14 and was caught breathless when I saw an editorial in the back of the magazine. From then on fashion has had my undivided attention.

As I perused Fashiongonerogue this morning I stumbled upon this editorial from Vogue Italia in 2003 done by the god of fashion photography Steven Meisel and modeled by none other than Jessica Stam.

Re-visiting Kathleen's blog on colored hair I have to say the look, styled here in 2003 by Brana Wolf was revolutionary. The way Jessica's hair glows in some of these pictures gives a whole new meaning to avant-garde.
