Chloe Nørgaard does Heavy Metal

Wrapped in metallis fabrics, Chloe Nørgaard lies and poses like a fallen idol while

her rainbow locks flow around the drowsy atmosphere created by David Bellemere. 

Wondrous photography and concept in this Gravure Magazine story.

Oyster Magazine Goes Bananas

Oyster celebrated its eighteen years in print with this amusing 80's inspired editorial

lensed by Tung Walsh. The esthetical excess of this decade in shapes and accesories,

along with a couple of bananas,  is the way the magazine chose to regale its 100th issue.

Patti Smith Inspires Helmet Magazine #3 Story

Model Anna Albrekht gets into Patti Smith's skin, but this time the suits she'll be wearing

are signed by Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen and Ann Demeulemeester among others.

The pictures taken by Darren McDonald get their inspiration from The Dream of Life,

a 2008 documentary film by Steven Sebring about the proclaimed Godmother of Punk.

Tank Summer Issue: In The Sun

Tank Magazine Summer Issue gives us even more of the fresh style they use to.

Camille Rowe smiles in casual and stylish girl-next-door clothes and is portrayed by Marcus Mam.

Note: Photoshoot better to be looked at while listening to She & Him.

Footballer Wives

 V Magazine made this editorial for their issue #66 in thought of the last Football World Cup,

so now that the European Championship 2012 is all over the news, i thought of recovering it.

The 12 page spread mimics the gossip tabloids full of paparazzi shots of the footballer wives.

You can see great models like Dree Hemingway, Eniko Mihalik, Alessandra de Ambrosio, Maryna Linchuk or Constance Jablonski covered in fake tan, few clothes and the worst stylisms impersonating sensations of the gossip world. It is a funny tribute to the superficial and gaudy stereotypical footballer wife, and though the result may not be considered high fashion, I take my hat off to the team who came up with this idea and executed it. They demonstrated that if fashion magazines stop taking themselves so seriously, they can take a step further and create genius photoshoots which are not always inspired by something highbrow and artistic.

God Save Britannia

Keeping with the British mood from some previous posts - mainly due to all the Jubilee celebrations-,

I wanted to share this editorial from L'Officiel Paris. Though this photoshoot by Alexander Neumann

might find its inspiration in the recent wave of Britishness the Coronation has caused, it surprinsingly doesn't fall into the same easy stereotypes other features fall into and works out some intriguing stylisms. The right amount of Union Jacks, boyish chic, clash of fabrics and inner Brit coolness on a very enjoyable display.

Guerrilla Girl

This V Spain editorial demonstrates how important is having a story behind a photoshoot so the

result is consistent and interesting. They are not just pictures of nice Céline, Ralph Lauren or

Margiela clothes on a beautiful blonde model -Edita Vilkeviciute this time-; they are a way to

narrate a story. I would say this is a socialité gone revolutionary tale, very much à la Patty Hearst.

This well-dressed rebellion pictures are dedicated to "all the courageous women who defend their ideals. They are masters of their own destiny, their voices songs that celebrate the beauty of freedom."

 And even though Edita gived us a powerful glaze, pulls off berets and holds a semi-automatic, there is still a melancholic and out of place vibe. Maybe it's hard to fight for equality while wearing Céline pumps.

Tattooed Lady

Pastels, flowers and pencil skirts.

Seems like current trends encourage us to look like perfect polished ladies.

But this Blackbook Magazine photoshoot you can still give it a twist, toughen up and pair it

with a rougher attitude. That's what Katie Fogarty does pulling off Jenai Chin amazing body art

and the finest pieces (Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jil Sander, Rochas and Marc Jacobs) at the same time.
