The Blogger and Casting Director Takes Model Aurélie Claudel to Brimfield Market
A frequent fixture on the web's best dressed lists, New York casting director Natalie Joos has a not-so-secret obsession with vintage clothes, which went global in March 2010, when she launched her blog Tales of Endearment. “I couldn’t buy everything I found—either because of the size or price tag—but I wanted to put all this research to good use, and make it public,” she says. Tales of Endearment offers posts about Joos’ vintage and thrift store excursions with her fashionable friends, from model Irina Lazareanu to designer Mark Fast, and profiles the decades-spanning wardrobes of noted vintage collectors, Genevieve Jones and Fabiola Beracasa among them. For today’s story, NOWNESS sent Joos to Brimfield Market in Massachusetts, a thrice-yearly pilgrimage where thousands of vendors from all over the country go to sell. Joos took her friend, French model Aurélie Claudel (star of campaigns for Calvin Klein, Armani and Ralph Lauren), along with photographer Martien Mulder, and together they delighted in the giant dress-up box that is Brimfield. “It was like a big playground with all these old and beautiful things in one place” says Mulder, who built the sets for the shoot, hanging fabrics on fences and improvising with the wares on show. All this attracted plenty of attention, with vendors urging the trio to pull items from their stalls, and a crowd gathering as the girls skipped down the road in sherbet colored tutus. As for the spoils: “Aurélie found these amazing glasses—she looked like a young Catherine Deneuve in them,” says Mulder. And Joos walked away with a checkered apron and a few silky items. Mulder was less modest, taking home two rocking chairs, a screen, and several patchwork quilts. “I didn’t really think about that small rental car we came in,” she laughs.
