Vanessa | Susanne Spiel | 'Venus Rising' | Harper's Bazaar Arabia

Giorgio Armani blues are center stage poolside in Susanne Spiel’s deeply sensual images of Vanessa in our first post from Harper’s Bazaar Arabia April 2011. Styled by Sally Matthews, the images are strong and feminine, more like supermodel images from the 90s.

We note that some consider the images cheap, cheesy and fashion photography 101. In our ‘for what it’s worth’, ‘Venus Rising’ is all modern woman mythology and we love these images from the Al Maha Resort. Anne
