X-posted on SN Living

Note | Nudity German photographer Stephan Glathe is another of the growing list of artists who receive inspiration from my curated images and never-ending flourish for words. It was great to connect with Stephan and his team with these two new editorials for fART magazine. As for Gabriella Toth, i love her work before the camera and it gives me real pleasure to see Stephan’s images of Gabriella’s confident elegance and elevating sensual arts. 

Both editorials for fART Magazine are devoted to the pleasures of seduction with lingerie, accessories and a toy or two. Stephan and Gabriella succeed in telling the same story with two distinct styles. Hair and makeup by Alba Frei with post production by Assia Mineva. Enjoy. Anne

Note | Nudity A ‘before she became famous’ editorial of Lara Stone is traveling through cyberspace. Willy Vanderperre capture the mega model in ‘Closer Than A Shadow’ for i-D magazine, August 2007.

In another breathtaking Steven Klein editorial, the artist turns his lens to Kate Moss for ‘Good Kate, Bad Kate’, the cover story for W magazine’s March issue, styled by Edward Enninful. I read another blogger groaning over the lack of originality in cover messages and Kate’s images around the ‘fashion bible’ theme and ‘divine style’ for all. I say keep it coming.

In case you live under a rock, the Republican War on Women has escalated to new highs in America this week, moving from the abortion wars into contraception. I called this reality three years ago, and all the Republican gremlins, accompanied by the Catholic bishops, are out in full force this week.

In the seventies, fashion was political. It’s time for the industry to understand that women’s lives are under assault and the industry needs to pull its weight on the issue. So thanks Kate, Steven, Edward and W for delivering a superb masterpiece that calls out brilliantly the contradictions of women’s lives, when the focus is sensuality, physicality and spirituality.

PS: I think the bored blogger is a misogynist, so I understand why he’s so ‘over’ these biblical-themed editorials. Let the daily news drive the editorial decisions, and there’s no ambiguity there around intention and hopes for American women.  As I’ve always said Controlling Women’s Bodies Is A Fight To the Finish.
