“People always like things that seem exotic.”
Jane Birkin
What exotic people, places or foods inspire you?
I’m fascinated by unique and ethnic prints and patterns – anything from whimsical Scandinavian Marimekko designs to Southeast Asian artisanal ikat prints.
But the exotic locale that has really been on my mind lately is Burma. Ā We had intended to visit the ancient city of Yangon or Mandalay some time last year, but decided to delay the trip until the little lady made an appearance. Ā Now that she is here though, we will have to wait at least a few more months. Ā But I would love to visit the golden temples and experience an environment which still isn’t entirely besieged by mass market franchises catering to tourists.
Do I want to visit Burma because it is exotic to me? Ā Definitely. Ā I’m fascinated by different cultures and their designs and can’t wait to make this trip some day!
Have a lovely week!
These are really beautiful images, I love different cultures and places and I think it’s important to learn or visit all you can about them. I’d love to go to Hawaii or Mexico or somewhere like that, it would be great!! I hope you have a marvellous week doll xx
I love how you always look through the archives to find these shoots – this one is so dramatic!
Thank you Lydia! I have to save editorials if I find them really interesting and eye catching. The headpieces and background in this shoot were just stunning and so exotic right?
WOW, those images are simply amazing! Hope you are having a great start to the week, lovely.
That would be a gorgeous trip! I love the scenery and their headpieces.
