Marine Deleeuw For Vogue Japan September 2013

There is so much that I love about this editorial in

the September 2013 issue of Vogue Japan.

Marine Deleeuw for Vogue Japan

The wardrobe is really interesting.

The simplicity yet total elegance of the hair and makeup,

the beauty in the spareness of the photography.

Lensed by Lacey 

the story reads like a Hitchcock movie, 

with model Patricia van der Vliet starring 

as a modern day Janet Leigh.

Love it.

Under The Twilight Sky ~ Crystal Renn For Vogue Japan

Swedish photographer Camilla Akrans is one

of my absolute favorites.

Her relationship with color and light, and her

ability to get fabulous extremes from her models

just kill me.

Crystal Renn by Camilla Akrans Vogue Japan

So whilst researching something else 

and looking through Akrans work in the process,

I came back to this absolute gem from Vogue Japan June 2012.

Model Crystal Renn works some Spanish glam

in designs from Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent, 

Hakaan and Dolce and Gabbana

as styled by fashion editor Sissy Vian.

Scarlet lips and unapologetically fierce brows 

from makeup artist Sil Bruinsma

and retro tresses from Alain Pichon just add to the perfection.

Everything that Swedish photographer 

Camilla Akrans shoots

is so visually arresting.

 She is magnificent.

For the June 2012 issue of Vogue Japan

Akrans shoots model Crystal Renn

in a spectacular story called

Under The Twilight Sky.

Fashion Editor Sissy Vian dresses Renn

in designers including  Dolce and Gabbana

Yves Saint Laurent, Balmain and Hakaan.

Immaculate skin, the boldest of red lips 

and a very fierce brow 

by makeup artist Sil Bruinsma,

retro inspired hair by Alain Pichon.

So perfect I could die.

Natasha Poly for Vogue Japan

Model Natasha Poly

brings a little melancholy

as she slips into some 

darker wardrobe choices for spring

from designers including

 Emilio Pucci, Stella McCartney, 

Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent,

as styled by fashion editor George Cortina

for the May issue of Vogue Japan.
