AnotherMan's latest editorial uses painting, the time honored method of image capturing, in place of the sleek customary fashion snapshots presenting moments of momentary beauty and commercialism (conveniently placed vitamin enhanced water!), and has been stewing in my head over the past few weeks. I've been swimming in the hazy-dreamy quality of
Christian Schoeler's work and love the use of a slower and more indistinct method of fashion presentation.
Sometimes it's just about the feeling you get from a model's general "look", not the sharply defined things and obvious references (we get it, she's wearing a lot of eyeliner, must be in a punk phase) that are cobbled together for a story. My favorite fashion editorials have stuck in my head with images as blurred as
AnotherMan's, still retaining the strongest spirit of the piece.
