*Fashion: October Issue Numero

  

 

 Model Emily Didonato takes the role of sea goddess for the October edition of Numero. Lensed by photographer Solve Sundsbo in a setting of majestic blue waters, Emily dons an array of lustrous garments styled by Franck Benhamou. Sølve Sundsbo is one of my favourite photographers. He's a Norwegian fashion photographer who started out taking reportage and action photos of his friends skiing and clubbing and realized that he wanted to pursue photography seriously. He moved to London in 1995 where he studied at the London College of Printing, before working as an assistant for photography legend Nick Knight for three years. Sølve’s work is a huge source of inspiration to photographers all around the world.  What I like so much about his photography that he uses a lot of old-fashioned techniques, which gives him more in common with a fine artist than the typical fashion photographer.

'' The great thing about being a photographer is that you can manipulate your own universe," concludes Sundsbo. "It would be wonderful if the world was inhabited by these creatures. I'd love it if any one of them walked out of the frame and into my world."

*Runway: Burberry Prorsum

 

This Spring 2011, it's full-on Mods vs. Rockers at Burberry.

The title of the collection was "Heritage Biker", taking Thomas Burberry´s designs for England's first motorbike riders in the early 1900s as the starting point. Classic features were also given a tougher, sexier edge by using leather, python, tiger prints and zip fastenings to transform the jackets into a fit for a biker babe.  All the clothes came in colours like tiered spearmint, pale pink and royal purple satin as well as leopard-print silk georgette. Long patent leather bags added shots of citrus yellow, mint green, red, lime and turquoise while the shoes had fierce spike heels that caused several models to take off their shoes and one to tumble. It was all about contrasts.
With a certain grace in movement and cut, Burberry’s women took yet another step ahead in a wardrobe that echoed both moments of modern sophistication and spontaneity. And this all with a definite nod to glam rock!

Enjoy the snapshots!

*Fashion: Americana Manhasset Editorial Campaign

Put trends aside for a moment: if classic fashion, with a Swinging London twist, gives you inspiration (like me) then this 'Chelsea Girl' shoot is for you. The Americana Manhasset campaign is photographed, produced and styled by Laspata/DeCaro (allready 20years in the bussiness together) and stars top editorial model Edita Vilkeviciute.

 Americana Manhasset is a premier collection of over 60 fine shops, including Prada, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Dior, Hirshleifers and more. All within a unique outdoor environment designed by renowned architect Peter Marino and landscape designer Oehme van Sweden.

 The shoot itself took place among the sites and streets of London and pays homage to the city that gave us everything from The Beatles to punk style to the Royal Family. 

Charles DeCaro: “We envisioned a strong, energetic and creative woman with a confident style all her own; We chose different settings throughout London depending on each look, allowing the fashion and respective designers’ messages to shine.”

*Fashion: Model Streetstyle

From the catwalk to the sidewalk,

these fashion showstoppers are even more interesting in their everyday clothes. Having access to a variety of labels, it is always interesting to see how models show this mix into their own style, along with items such as vintage and less expensive clothes. But being a model is a full-time job, looking your best even on your time off is essential. No wonder the ones shown here have mastered the art of the effortlessly put-together looks and layer like experts. We definitely can say that they are known as the pioneers in street style photography. Vivid pastels, geometric prints, statement jewelry and sexy blazers: everything passes the revue. 

Here some exclusive snapshots of the models off duty.
