Elizaveta Porodina

A stunningly beautiful fashion editorial for German magazine Gala Germany No47. It is so wonderful when so many creative forces can work together to create such beauty and this is the great quality of fashion, that it is such a collaborative creative field.
In these images the styling is by Yilmaz Aktepe current fashion director for Men's Health magazine. Photography is by Elizaveta Porodina a young photographer based in Munich, and the amazing hair and makeup is by the incredible Marko Hulsebus.

Photographer Charles Freger

 

French photographer Charles Freger is not a fashion photographer. However he likes to take pictures of fantastic costumes, from folk traditions to those of the Queen of Samba parade at Posusje de Caldas a town near Sao Paulo.  
These garments weigh up to 80 pounds and reach up to three and a half meters in height and are quite impossible to wear.
Charles Freger always likes to take his subjects away from the context of the human event they are involved with and place them instead in isolation in the landscape. Last year I had the opportunity to watch this artist at work photographing The Burry Man of South Queensferry for his book Wilder Mann about folk traditions of Europe. It has some incredible costumes and certainly is food for the imagination of anyone involved in fashion.

Pinar Yolcan

Pinar Yolcan was born in Turkey. Pinar studied fashion design in London, now works with the media of photography however her artistic practise is still rooted in fashion as she hand makes the costumes for her models and her work is concerned with issues of beauty and status. Her costumes have been mainly created from meat and offal and so are perishable and transient, they have to be made on the day of the shoot or frozen.

"I think I’m so interested in raw food because of its transient quality. Anything organic that doesn't have a permanence shows passage of time and I am fascinated by that." Pinar Yolcan

The images above are from her series 'Perishables', where she created portraits of mature women wearing raw meat in colours and textures similar to their own skin
Pinar Yolcan's work is being exhibited by the Saatchi Gallery as part of 'Out of Focus' an exhibition of contemporary photography.

Madam Peripetie II

This is work from Madam Perietie's suprematism sequence, Sylwana's work is surreal and fantastical influenced by Surrealism, Dadaism, the British post punk scene and avantgarde theater.

Louise Richardson

Cobwebs and memories and the smell of dust, these are the evocative works of textile artist Louise Richardson. I love her use of photography especially on the feathers.

Yeonju Sung

Yeonju Sung creates images from food dressed up as fashion. Stunning basques and dresses that can never be, captured only in a photograph a metaphor for the fleeting fickle quality of fashion. Yeonju is interested in the lie that is photography, photography as make believe.

"I drag out the types of images that can only exist in my mind and imagination into a reality and yet, it eventually disappears. I have physically made these images but they are the creation of illusion and ultimately what you see is the images of phantoms. My works remain as the medium of photographs, and it holds the time and makes us believe that the creation does exist in the real world." Yeonju Sung

Images from top; eggplant, lotus root, shrimp, fungi, tomato, red cabbage Thank you Dom

Georgia Boniface

My groups are using photo transfer over the next few days and I wanted to show them that there was more to this technique than just printing there favourite image on a T-shirt. This is the inspiring work of textile artist Georgia Boniface who incorporates photography transfers into her installations and also incorporates them onto other textile items such as cushions. Thank you so much Georgia for all your help.
