「這是第一張美國Vogue拍攝紀梵希服裝的照片，拍攝地點是我們的客廳，位於康乃狄克州的一間前穀倉。Bettina身穿一件藍綠色（看起來幾乎像海洋）飄逸的亮片珠飾長禮服，由巴黎最頂尖的手工刺繡師繡製。這是一門藝術，你知道的。當時大概只有三家工坊為高級訂製服製作亮片和珠飾。不幸的是，那時這門藝術正在凋零，而現在只剩下最後一家。那件短斗篷看起來像慈善修女會的頭飾。紀梵希把它做成了上衣。他不能用黑色或粉彩，那會讓人沮喪，所以必須是白色。看看短斗篷左側，往下看到禮服上的祖母綠手套。然後沿著那條線直直往上越過肩膀到耳垂，看看那耳環，也是綠白相間的。這就是風格。這就是時尚。這就是幻想。」
—— 艾美·格林，摘自《但那是另一個故事》
The story behind it—Givenchy’s first American Vogue shoot in a barn-turned-living-room—makes it feel less like decor and more like a piece of fashion history. The sea-green tone shifts with the light, and the print quality really lets you see the texture in her dress.
The color is mesmerizing—that greenish-blue really does look like seawater, and it pulls you right into the shot. Even though it’s a historical piece, the print quality makes Bettina’s gaze feel startlingly immediate, like she’s about to step out of the frame.
The barn setting adds such a lived-in, storied quality to this print—you can almost feel the history in the room. Bettina’s pose feels effortlessly elegant, and that sea-green Givenchy hue is even richer in person than on screen.
