Retro dreamer – Cecil Beaton

“Be daring, be different, be impractical”

With the QT Fashion Week and Awards Gold Coast just around the corner we are loving everything fashion, photographic and unique. This week we’re taking a closer look at the iconic Cecil Beaton.

There were many feathers to Cecil Beaton’s cap (including careers as an illustrator, painter, Academy Award-winning set and costume designer) but he is perhaps most well known for being one of the first-ever fashion photographers. With an innate eye for elegance, Cecil dreamed of capturing the sophistication and style he saw within his own fashionable social circles during the 1920’s and 1930’s.
