Vittoria Ceretti in 'Parade' by Paul Kooiker for Harper's Bazaar Italia December 2022 AOC Fashion

The third fashion story in the selective-issues print launch of Harper Bazaar Italia is ‘Parade’. Like the other two stories, it’s a beauty, with model Vittoria Ceretti in the model spotlight.

Paul Kooiker’s work is on display starting tonight, Dec. 8, at FOAM Amsterdam, at the opening reception. The show closes on Feb. 12, 2023.

There’s a sentence in the FOAM bio for Paul Kooiker that summarizes my positive reaction to these images. “The artist portrays the biggest fashion brands and today’s most famous faces, but transports them to a world of their own. Disconnected from time and place, his surreal images feel like film stills with stories we can only guess.”
