I couldn´t wait to finish this post to show you all beautiful black & white photos. They´re so special.
I love the atmosphere in black & white pictures, don´t you? They can be a little scary and stylish at the same time… Here´s a great example of that:
Giovanna Mezzogiorno
From: giovannamezzogiorno.com
She´s really got that sexy-scary thing going on. Go Giovanna. Can´t wait for the family photo…I bet that´ll scare the shit out of me. Horrifying. Horror movie-horrifying.
She plays in a great movie (from year 2000), L´ultimo bacio, have you seen it? If not, you really should!
Creepy as hell but cool, Kate Moss takes us to another level in her younger days, actually the prototype:

I really like this photo because of the contrast between the inappropriate way she´s sitting, the girly fabric & clothes & the hard make up:

Angelina Jolie, in an extravagant classy role. Speaking of scary, the (beautiful!) dog to the left looks a bit ghost-ish. I´m waiting for it to move -like it shouldn´t be able to….a fabulous shot.
I love the conservative, strong look. Here are some pics that she took for St John knits. The black & white enriches that atmosphere, don´t you think?

I found a fabulous photo of Julia Roberts that makes me smile. I´m thinking that in the middle of a pose she fell -softly- in to a big cloud of fabric & started laughing…. :

Strike a fashion pose! …Aerosmith´s singer, Steven Tyler, does that hand move all the time. I wonder if he had something to do with this. Can you imagine him running around behind the scenes -NO! MORE fingers, MOOORE!

Even called, Coco Chanel:

You should read about her!! Even with a slightly interest, if that´s the case. She´s really an icon, not only to design but also to attitude & new thinking.
Here´s a Christy Turlington photo again, in the Chanel spirit:
