A fresh and smart approach in fashion advertising, the collaboration between New York based label Maiyet and photographer/film maker Cass Bird sets apart from the endless images of models standing in a rack-like, unnatural pose. Few fashion photographers give emphasis to the atmosphere surrounding the label in a fashion campaign which I think is more important, unlike a look book or catalog that just displays the clothes.

For spring-summer 2013 Maiyet and Cass Bird chose top model Daria Werbowy as the star of the advertising campaign and India as the stunning backdrop. The Ukrainian-Canadian beauty plays perfectly the stylish traveler who wants to feel the pulse of the place theyâre visiting. Cass Birdâs daring and intimate photo-journalistic style images capture the exuberant, care-free nature of artisan-promoting label.
