The proof is in the text-iles.
Above: Virginia Woolf channels her heroine Orlando. A secret: she’s wearing one of these under her jacket.

Jane Eyre and Blanche Ingram engage in a tête à tête. But are they debating Mr. Rochester’s finer points? And what is this Chanel? Must have come from Edward’s Parisian ward, the poppet Adele.
You need this Woolf to go with it all! http://wendybrandes.com/pro-detail.php?id=479&collect=true

ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Isabel Toledo ads of various literary figures (like Hester Prynne)? It's great.

Many thanks, TF--I didn't know RT was illustrating books (or their covers) but I have taught with Dame Darcy's illustrated Jane Eyre.

These novels are so wonderfully rich to interpret!
I love this literary take on advertising.

ReplyDeleteSomething about the Nordstrom ad also has me seeing Oscar Wilde. Do I need glasses?;-)
ReplyDeleteglad to see that some of that liberal arts education surfaces every once in a while! though it *would* be nice to see less imperialist/colonialist-on-safari/romanticizing-the-primitive editorials every spring!
