This AmericanLife
John Updike probably didn’t read that many fashion magazines. I can’t really picture him as a Glamour sort of guy, you know? But I think he would have liked ― even loved? ― this editorial from the March 2005 issue of Flair. After all, “Ritratti di Nuovo Stile (Portraits of New Style)” takes cues from none other than one of Updike’s favorite artists and frequent essay subject,UGG Classic Mini 5854, Edward Hopper.
In a tacit tribute to the 20th-century painter, photographer Javier Vallhonrat explored the frequent Hopper theme of urban isolation, dressing model Mariacarla Boscono in retro-inspired ensembles to play the part of the young, middle-class woman who has just entered America’s new interwar urban scene.
It’s hard to believe this shoot is as recent as 2005,UGG Tassel Boot Short 5835, but steeped in Hopper’s style of plainness and intimacy, even that ’80s peplum power suit and those Storm Trooper wedges are convincing. As for who this woman is, and why we’re focused on her,UGG 5899, we’ll never know. In true Hopper style, the spread leaves us full of questions, so that we’re forever (as Updike aptly said) “eavesdropping on that wonderful Hopper silence.”
