'Wonderland' Photographer Kirsty Mitchell On Imagination, Loss And Alexander McQueen (PHOTOS) (Huffington post)
_Kirsty Mitchell is a former fashion designer who worked under both Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan as a student. However, she found her ultimate calling in photography. Her imaginative series 'Wonderland' takes you to alternate worlds where umbrellas drip with lavenders, backs sprout wings and limbs get lost in tree branches. Yet this faraway world was inspired by someplace very close to Mitchell's heart. **Scroll down for a slideshow of her work.**_ _Mitchell's fondest childhood memories are of her mother Maureen, a schoolteacher, reading fairy tales aloud. These tales of imagination, beauty and love followed Mitchell throughout her life as she attended art school and began working in fashion. Her mother passed away of a brain tumor in 2008, leading Mitchell on a creative journey through ethereal lands and personal memories. The photographer has created a new world in her mother's memory, rich with intricate detail and drama. Her work reminds us that the real world is not the only world if you allow your imagination to take hold. Mitchell shared her story with us, as beautiful and inspirational as the works themselves. _ Read More... More on Death & Dying
