Its said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, andKirsty Mitchellis certainly feeling that right now.
The fine art photographer creates meticulously crafted costumes that have their own part in her fantastical narrative images.
One girl from Spain transformed herself into Mitchells White Queen.
I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes!
The mother and her daughter made every part of the costume, right down to the shoes.
The results are incredible, especially when you compare the details.
The fans on the dress and headdress, for instance, look practically identical.
The entire project was made even more special and poignant when Mitchell learned that Mabel is an English teacher.
Needless to say, 8-year-old Isabelle and her brother Gonzalo won first prize (90 Euros)!
Her daughter wore it in a children’s parade in Villanueva de los Infantes, Spain.
The brother played the role of photographer.
It took months to recreate this costume, and the faithful rendition extended down to the shoes.
Here’s Mitchell’s White Queen, as she appears in theWonderlandseries.
I can’t stop smiling when I look at them, Mitchell tells My Modern Met.
