This recent Crash editorial brings us a remixed adaptation of the Edith Beales. Both “big” and “little” Edie flaunted 70-styled fits that make us puurrr with envy/pleasure. Odd, quirky, surreal, broken, whimsical fantasy… everything Grey Gardens exposes is right up our ally… (please watch the original before you see Drew Barrymore’s attempt)…
The reclusive two-some (mother and daughter.. aunt and cousin to Jackie O) live in the past while inhabiting the rotting Gray Garden mansion. While the mother drifts upon dreams of her former singer/songwriter life, her daughter paces around the house living out her previous fashion “debutante” days. The team behind this particular shoot accomplished a modern take on the unique scene that was “The Ediths” in Grey Gardens. Photographer Alexandra Catiere and Fashion Editor Elisa Nalin realized the concept thoroughly, adding touches of art influence (all drawings by Antonio Marras… what do you think?)… seemingly the blueprints of the creative mind. The stylist uses the entire Kenzo fall/winter collection… perfection? Do tell us your thoughts… hope you enjoy loves!

“But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn’t know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there’s anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman… S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There’s nothing worse, I’m telling you. They don’t weaken, no matter what.”“Oh, yes, I did. I did, I had my cake, loved it, masticated it, chewed it and had everything I wanted.”
“Listen, kid! I’m extremely organized. I know exactly where to look for this stuff. I’ve got it under control right here, but I can’t find it. Get it?”
“It’s very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present. You know what I mean? It’s awfully difficult.”
“Will you shut up? It’s a goddamn beautiful day, shut up!”
“No, no, this is the revolutionary costume! I never wear this in East Hampton!”
“Well, I’m going to get naked in just a minute, so you better watch out.”
Hello! Love this post the photos are fabulous! Funny but even though I do love Drew I have not had a desire to see her play Edie. Mainly because how do you redo a documentary into a movie. I guess I will if you say it's worthy of a rental.XXValerie

I am so happy I found you two! Most of the brilliant things you write about I have never even heard of! This post almost left me speechless, though I have to say the imagery paired with the words it sheer genius! I don't even know what this is! I am going to know. I also wanted to thank you for your incredibly thoughtful and well written comments you leave me. The one you left on my photo set from Sisters (photos by david hamilton) , was sort of inspired by the two of you. I was so happy you liked it. The person that gave me that book was a dear friend I shared a blog with, before. She found two copies of the book and gave one to me and kept one for herself. We are sort of separated now for complex reasons. I find comfort in your blog.

something really dark about these…and I like it. Interesting observing the range in what you find to adorn the blog. The first is so freezingly cozy, she looks like a chameleon. A true adult version of the secret garden and a tormented look into a crazy couple of muses who never intended to be…the best kind.love and respect- your admiring pisces
