High Fashion Interpretations of Miss Havisham

When searching for high fashion interpretations on the character Miss Havisham, I came across these photographs, which I thought resembled her quite a bit, with the location they are on and how dirty it is,which is what Satis House is like as someone has lived there for a long time but made no attempt to keep it tidy, clean and dust free. Another this is the way the body is positioned in them and how different they all are, as I interpreted this as the different sides you to see to Miss Havisham throughout the book as well as in the TV/Film adaptations. I also like the fact that she has a veil on her head that covers her eyes, as this reminds me of the film of Great Expectations, as Miss Havisham wears her veil. Also the fact that they have chosen a model with fairly pale skin which reflects Miss Havisham even more because she has become a recluse, he no longer see daylight making her look pale white almost transparent, which was kind off the look in the Victorian era.
