Surrealism, realism, and Steven Meisel
Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures Surreal or Real – it’s not quite a statement, not quite a question but rather a punctuation-less piece of typography floating across the cover of Vogue Italia’s February 2012 issue. Whether or not it begs you to mentally add a question mark, it does set the mood of the issue. The main editorial, like the cover, stars Laura Kampman as photographed by Steven Meisel. It’s not your instructional type fashion shoot and nor is it exactly cinematic; in this case Meisel’s work borders more to frameable art. The surrealism hinted at on the cover weaves in without too much fanfare. It’s all created through small twists in styling and photography rather than through cluttered Dali-esque sets or vast attempts at mind-bending futurism. If anything, some of Meisel’s black and white shots feel like they’re channeling 1920s silent films (owing some influence to The Artist, perhaps?) – clawed gloves and tree-like headpieces more akin to theatrical costume than anything you’d find in modern cinema. Kampman is a little expressionless throughout, but has just the right features to justify her casting in such a dark, vintage-esque editorial endeavour. Article continues.

Dark brilliance at Anne Sofie Madsen
Posted in Fashion / Copenhagen fashion week / Fashion blog / Fashion pictures / Runway & fashion shows From the opener – a dress haphazardly fringed and embellished, worn with nude socks and heavy flat black shoes – Anne Sofie Madsen had it nailed. The ‘it’ in question is the elusive space between darkly avant guarde and coolly wearable, and while the sparkling circus-like aesthetic of the opening piece didn’t return through the rest of her fall 2012 show at Copenhagen fashion week (CFW), the remainder of the outfits were equally on-target. These were intricate, bordering on Gothic but tipping a hat to the futurist. Polar bears reared up on some snow-capped pieces while others were splodged with galaxies of paint, or wrought with alien-faced emotion. Texture is certainly key for Madsen, and these darkly themed pieces showed their craftsmanship through the 3-dimensional details. Article continues.

Less than zero
Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures Just because we’re in the company of others, doesn’t mean we can’t be lonely. Svenja Pitz in her shoot Less Than Zero explores, visually, that feeling of two people being together and yet somehow alone. Whether they’re in the same room or listening to each others’ silences down the line of a telephone, the two characters – played by models Antonia Wesseloh and Joost Asche – are stylishly lost in a communication void.
