Classic Editorials: Vogue Australia December 2012 - See you at Sundown - Elizabeth Debicki

Elizabeth Debicki for Vogue Australia, December 2012

Elizabeth Debicki is an Australian actor, trained at the Victorian College of the Arts and now starring in Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby'. Getting in to the VCA straight out of high school, Debicki was an impressive actor from the beginning. Whilst doing an acting course with her at the VCA prior to auditions, I could tell she had an extra quality above many others and so did the course teacher. Unsurprisingly she got in and the rest is history. Who knows what is next, but one thing is for certain, her talent and special qualities aren't lost on those who matter in the film, theatre and fashion industry. There are big things to come. Congratulations Elizabeth. 

Dion Lee Resort 2013 'Lunar Tides' Campaign

Light reflective thermal skirt, featured on Dion Lee's Instagram feed

Lensed by Australian photographer Darren McDonald, Dion Lee's Resort 2013 'Lunar Tides' campaign arrived exclusively on Oyster Magazine's website with more photos from the shoot still to come. Whilst futuristic geo-thermal patterns have been a signature of Lee's recent designs, his latest innovation in material and design marries art and fashion more closely together than ever. Lee explains, “The light reflec­tive fab­ric knit­ted into these pieces is made of glass par­ti­cles, which is used in safety cloth­ing and sig­nage. These pieces reflect in direct light or cam­era flash, cre­at­ing a lumi­nous glow.” I'll be updating this post with  the final shots from the campaign as soon as they are released. 

Eniko Mihalik for Harper's Bazaar Turkey August 2011

Eniko Mihalik

Warning: Partial nudity in one photo

Eniko Mihalik continues to impress in her editorial work, she has mastered the art of posing, she is a classic beauty and most of all, despite the fact that she is a model, she looks like a woman. What gives me great hope is that Eniko is not considered a plus-size model despite the fact that she has modest curves and an actual chest. This shows that there is some sanity left in the fashion industry. That is why I  included the above photo, to demonstrate that one does not have to be flat-chested and have no body fat to be a beautiful, successful and highly-regarded model. Well done Eniko.

Tiiu Kuik continues to prove herself a classic beauty and a serious contender for a future place as a top model. Keep an eye out for her work, she is yet to disappoint.

Classic Editorials: And God Created Woman - Abbey Lee Kershaw

This is one of my favourite editorials featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw. It was photgraphed by Max Doyle and ran in the May 2009 issue of Vogue Australia and worth of its place in a new segment on this blog called, 'Classic Editorials.'

Olga Sherer (a Belarusian) was born in Belarus, Russia in 1987. She began modelling professionally in 2005, making her debut for Issey Miyake. Over her career she has been seen with both dark brown and red hair. This is a model who is striking with amazingly defined cheekbones and features, porcelain skin and red hair that is often uncommon on the runway and suits her so well. She reminds me of Uma Thurman and I think they could almost be twins! Although she is not as striking as Abbey Lee Kershaw and Freja Beha Erichsen in terms of a 'supermodel look', she still is a model to be admired and appreciated. I was sad to see that she hasn't done as much editorial work as many other models and I hope that her current campaign and photographic work continues and becomes more frequent.
