As a youngster I always had a love and fascination for the tales of Roald Dahl, so imagine my delight when I stumbled across this editorial by UK Vogue in honour of the great author himself. For the editorial which featured in the Vogue Fantastic Fashion issue Vogue enlisted the help of Tim Burton (me likey) as well as an entourage of other well known quirky characters such as Helena Bonham Carter, Imelda Staunton and musician Lightspeed Champion. I love the way the already obscure tales of Dahl have been appropriated to create brilliant, highly stylised images of high fashion. It's a visual delight, every image making the viewer look twice and just that little bit closer to figure out just exactly what is happening in the frame.
