“I Know I’m Vulgar, But Would You Have Me Any Other Way?” – Elizabeth Taylor

This editorial is a bit much for Private Studio (would normally go to Sensuality News) but we want to keep the Liz V Magazine images together. Photographed by Mario Testino and styled by Carine Roitfeld, Aymeline Valade is transformed into yet another vision of Elizabeth Taylor for V Magazine‘s ‘The Heros Issue’ Fall 2011 edition.

Inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous portraits of the late screen legend, Marc Lopez ‘s hair and Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup enhance the pop art effect, as Aymeline becomes a mannequin in every frame wearing baubles beyond belief.

Current estimates are that the Liz Taylor jewelry collection is worth $30 million, says Christie’s, which will auction the 269-piece jewel collection in December. Expect prices to go higher. Anne
