Scultographs: Andrea Rosen Gallery

Yesterday I decided to check out the Scultographs show at the Andrea Rosen Galery. The artist duo, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, mainly known for their Fashion Photography, was a collaboration with Eugeene Van Lamsweerde. The show was ending pretty soon, so I wanted to make over since I am a huge huge fan of Inez and Vinoodh's photography work. I was somewhat disapointed. I truly believe that art is in the eye of the beholder, so I am only speaking of my own opinion. It was recyled images from their past editorial work turned into sculptures. Which I was completely aware of before going in. It was just that the actual sculpture were so lackluster. I'm assuming Eugeene handled that end of the project. Luckily there are a bunch of other galleries in the area I got to check out. Below are a few images from the show.
I must post a few images of the AMAZING photoshoot from the May issue on Vogue Nippon with Raquel Zimmermann, photographed by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadinjust out of pure appreaciation of their talent:

US Elle: Hilary Rhoda by Michelangelo di Battista

For some time now, I have been utterly obsessed with model Hilary Rhoda. This Editorial from the May 2010 issue of US ELLE, completely knocked my socks off. And I really like the whole Sports journalist storyline they did. She currently is one of the stars of the Estee Lauder campaign, which she has been doing for a few years now. She also happens to be from Chevy Chase, Maryland. Which is right around the corner from where I grew up. With all the exotic models in fashion, her look is just nice healthy all-american face. Refreshing, right?!

French Vogue Covergirl: March 2010

Model: Rose Cordero @ SUPREME agency
Photography: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

On the March 2010 cover of French Vogue is Dominican Model Rose Cordero. This is the first black model to appear on a French Vogue cover since 2002. The cover is pure perfection!!!

Legendary Ms. Harlow

Ms Harlow is a legend! A fashion supermodel legend, if you will. And definitely a favorite of mine. The modeling jobs aren't fast and furious as they used to be (by her choice I'm sure). She can currently be seen in a spread in March US Harpers Bazaar. The shoot was styled by Melanie Ward, and photographed by Glen Luchford. Its edgy enough to keep up with the artsy kids. But still sophisticated.

Chloe Spring 2010 ad campaign

Here we have a few images from the Spring 2010 ad campaign for Chloe. It features two of my favorite supermodels: Raquel Zimmerman and Malgosia Bela, shot by Mario Sorrenti. I love these ads very much. There is a creamy clean simplicity with these images. The tan and the soft blues together with a brown leather bag. One of my favorite color combinations. I also really appreaciate the tough twill fabrics used for some of the clothing. Enjoy!
