Washed-out photographs in a light that reflects on femininity and womanity. Aliocha Wallon’s photography for Lampoon online is a sluggish ode to street life and effortless freedom
Parkside Shy – Aliocha Wallon and Clotilde Franceschi for Lampoon magazine
Title: Park Side Style
This series showcases Nikki strolling through different Parisian landscapes but, as the day goes by, her introverted side catches up with her. Effortlessly, she blends into the city through various styles and attitudes
The city’s all a-shining
Beneath a fickle sun,
A gay young wind’s a-blowing,
The little shower is done.
But the rain-drops still are clinging
And falling one by one —
Oh it’s Paris, it’s Paris,
And spring-time has begun.
I know the Bois is twinkling
In a sort of hazy sheen,
And down the Champs the gray old arch
Stands cold and still between.
But the walk is flecked with sunlight
Where the great acacias lean,
Oh it’s Paris, it’s Paris,
And the leaves are growing green.
The sun’s gone in, the sparkle’s dead,
There falls a dash of rain,
But who would care when such an air
Comes blowing up the Seine?
And still Ninette sits sewing
Beside her window-pane,
When it’s Paris, it’s Paris,
And spring-time’s come again.
