The Libertine

"Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me….You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on", "An announcement: I am up for it, all the time. That is not a boast or an opinion, it is bone hard medical fact. I put it round you know. And you will watch me putting it round and sigh for it. Don't, It is a deal of trouble for you and you are better off watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance. Ladies, do not despair, I am up for that as well. And the same warning applies. But later when you shag – and later you will shag, I shall expect it of you and I will know if you have let me down…Feel how it was for me, how it IS for me, and ponder. 'Was that shudder the same shudder he sensed? Did he know something more profound? Or is there some wall of wretchedness that we all batter with our heads at that shining moment?!' ……That is it. That is my prologue… I do not want you to like me.." -Stephen Jeffreys…………………………………(SUBMISSIONS TO kvanrade@gmail.com)

Constance Jablonski And Suvi Koponen By Mikael Jansson For Interview Magazine | May 2012

 

Jessiann Gravel Beland By Shot Luis Monteiro For Vogue Magazine | May 2012

What a transportative experience it was for me, browsing through this editorial! With land work by Luis Monteiro and under-water shots by Sumer Verma And Umeed Mistry, the team manages to create an exotic wonderland in which mermaids walk on land. The wardrobe is decadent and overwhelming in keeping with the breath taking scenery (God forbid the background out-shine the fashion after all!) All in all, I would call this a favorite ;)

Dreaming West | Alyssa Miller By Jock Sturges For Marie Claire Italia | April 2009

Aaaaaa…This is my kind of shoot. I want to live in it. I linger over each image and fight the compulsion to slip out of  my shoes and clothes, tuck feathers into my hair and streak through the wind toward open plains and endless sky; scour cliffs and valleys, bath in the sea, and slumber amidst tall grass. Thank you to these artists who create journeys for my heart.

Polar Expedition

I find these images to be exceptionally beautiful. The sheer magnitude of the location is quite impressive to begin with. Then the sweeping colors bathe the terrific expanse, creating a majestic wonderland where understated fashion with meticulous detailing can simply overwhelm. I adore the billowing fabrics, the cascading hair, and hardly least of all… the innocence.
