ALL dressed up with nowhere to go - it's a common dilemma when you're a teenager, and that's exactly the feeling that Lucinda Chambers wanted to conjure up in the April issue of Vogue with her "Good-Time Girls" shoot, photographed by Vincent van de Wijngaard.
"It was inspired by the Saint Laurent show and the idea of glitter girl gangs.Hedi [Slimane] does these spiky cross-heroines," explained Chambers of the starting point of the idea."I wanted it to have that feeling of when you're so bored and there are only the same few places to go - the local café, a street.I wanted to mix up the context of these incredible clothes in an anti-magnetic location."
And when you're young, too young to be able to go out-out, the most fun and exciting part of an evening is putting on the make-up and getting dressed up after all.
Although he is primarily a documentary photographer and filmmaker, it was Van de Wijngaard's ability to capture the emotion of a scene that Chambers found most appealing.This was the first time she had worked with him.
"The pictures were very atmospheric and there was a tenderness to them," said Chambers - but that toughness and hardness of girl gangs and a real sense of fashion are still there too.
