Down the Rabbit Hole All Over Again

This collage is composed almost entirely of images from an Annie Liebovitz shoot for the December 2003 issue of American Vogue. Alice is played by the hauntingly childlike Natalia Vodianova and some of the world's top haute couture designers play the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts (I especially love Marc Jacobs playing a dazed and confused Caterpillar atop a giant mushroom):

Using the round canvas was an allusion to rabbit hole that beckons Alice into Wonderland. The circular shape lent a centrifugal force to the composition, with the vignettes composed along the edges. Alice's blue dress unites her image throughout the vignettes, and enforces the narrative aspect of the composition. I hope that you find it whimsical and fun!
