fashion editorial

An oldie but goldie: I love this street punk vibed Marie Claire Turkey editorial from 2010 called "Berlin in Berlin". Shot by Turkish fashion photographer/film maker Koray Birand, styled by Hakan Ozturk and starring Dutch model Nina Reijnders the images are still relevant today. Having previously worked as Director of Photography in advertising Koray Birand knows how to make best use of settings and photo techniques to create a mood.

Anyone who is in love with childhood fairy tales and bizarre circus stories will adore this fashion pictorial published in the December 2010 issue of W Magazine.

I just love this art loaded fashion editorial titled Art & Commerce and published in the October 2009 issue of W magazine. Under the superb lens of photography duo Inez & Vinoodh and styled by Alex White, topmodels Raquel Zimmerman and Freja Beha Erichsen are discovering the wonders of contemporary art exhibited at Centre Pompidou in Paris and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Vibrant wardrobe for the modern nomad: Sudan born topmodel Alek Wek stars in a summery, globe-trotter inspired editorial featured in Financial Times's fashion issue How To Spend It.

The Silent Russian model Anna Selezneva poses as 'Eco Warrior' for the fall/winter 2009 edition of i-D magazine. Photographed by Richard Bush and styled by Sarah Richardson this "post-apocalyptic" character imagined sports some very cool utilitarian chic outfits with hints of punk-rock and grunge.

Fashion photography, the most glamorous form of art, ceased a long time ago to be just a dull, empty form of presentation due to cutting edge culture magazines and talented artists.

Photographer Craig McDean, well-known for his striking fashion imagery used an "error" technique - involving blurry, unfocused images - that brings a dramatic vibe to "Emotions", a fashion editorial featured in the October issue of W-Magazine.
