When art meets fashion

I've been meaning to post this editorial for a while, as I really love the concept. In this shoot for Spanish Elle (April 2010), Masha Novoselova picks up a paintbrush and gets creative (and a bit messy!) on set.

Styled by Inmaculada Jimenez, Masha poses in simple, classic combinations (when the clothes are important that is..!) - casual denim shorts, tank tops, high-waisted trousers and floaty kaftans add to the relaxed, unfussy style of the artist character that Masha embodies.

What 'makes' the shoot for me, is Mario Sierra's brilliant use of natural light, which reflects the luminous and spacious atmosphere of what could be a real artist's studio. The abundance of light in Mario Sierra's shots enhance Masha's natural beauty and the model's poses give the composition a sense of energy and dynamism - distinctly fashion, without being over-exaggerated.

It seems that the fashion-art link is ever alive, but Sierra's photography adds a modern twist. Being covered in paint never looked so fashionable!

All eyes on...Zanita!

Recently, I have been looking a lot more at Chictopia.com and Lookbook.nu as I love all the interesting outfits and style inspiration on there.

Instead of posting a "look of the day", I wanted to tell you about my favourite chictopian of the moment.. ZANITA WHITTINGTON, a Sydney based model.

(Model polaroids:)
(Agency pictures:)

Apart from the fact that being an extremely striking 5ft11 model makes clothes naturally look good on her, the way she pieces outfits together shows her flair for making fashion work on and off the job..a total style chameleon!




Definitely one to watch - not only as a model, but also as a fashionista!

Megan Fox in Harper's Bazaar

I just had to post these pictures of Megan Fox from the upcoming April 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar!

The cover shot is typically 'Megan' (seductive, smouldering and alluring - no surprises as to why she's 'type cast' in films!), but in the shots to follow, Paola Kudacki transforms her into something much less commercial...

For me, the final three images are absolutely captivating and scream "VOGUE editorial". She looks like a high fashion model (bit of Jessica Miller, anyone?) and the depth of her expression demonstrates her connection to the camera.

If Megan keeps producing magazine spreads like this, she should fix herself as a permanent favourite with the fashion pack!

Long live the fox!
