David Lachapelle’s Disaster Series

‘When the World is Through’ 2005

The image above is a piece from Lachapelle’s ‘Disaster Series’ done for Vogue Italia in 2005. Chromogenic print, 39 1/2 x 59 1/2 inches, 100.3 x 151.1 cm, 

Silhouette: It’s a very draped silhouette, with not much of a shape around the body. The cut of the garment doesn’t show off the models figure that much, its quite flowy.

Volume: The fabric seems quite thin and loose and flowy, creating not a lot of volume around the body, the thing thats seems to be creating more volume is the wind like effect that’s blowing her dress.

Drape: Lightweight fabric cause clothing to drape.

Movement: The model is seemingly walking towards the camera with her suitcase, searching for something. Showing movement.

Colour: There isn’t a lot of colour, the dress is a solid white colour which in some ways creates more impact, as all her accessories are also white

Print/Pattern: There is no print of pattern on the fabric.
