The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

This is another obsession of mine and something I grew up on that never got old. Whenever I see vintage Wizard of Oz items, I can't resist. I recently found one of the original editions of the book at the Rose Bowl flea market. Had to have it. Yesterday I found die cut notecards with the original looking illustrations on them. Had to have those too. In December 2005 Annie did the Wizard of Oz photo shoot for Vogue. My favorite photo from this shoot is with Chuck Close as the Wizard. He's an amazing photorealist who creates larger than life paintings. To collaborate with him on this project was genius. Not to mention all the fashion icons scattered throughout.
