Madame Peripetie II

Madame Peripetie's latest project is inspired by the architecture of Zaha Hadid, thus pulling together photography, architecture, millinery, fashion , hairdressing, make-up and body painting, so exciting for so many creative people and disciplines to merge and collaborate for a creative project that focuses on the body as a sculptural canvas.

Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven

Sometimes editorials just make you gasp and this one for New York Magazine certainly achieved this. The clash, the colour and the dynamic patterns throughout combined with the sometimes obscuring face paint and wigs creates a wild kaleidoscopic montage. Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven's creativity has created an edgy, challenging and exciting portfolio, not solely devoted to fashion photography but devoted to exciting visual experimentation which leads to eye popping photography.

Damien Blottiere

 Disturbing experimental and transformational Damien Blottiere's collages are unique and unforgettable in the way that they splice fantasy with reality. They play with time, for while a photograph captures a second in time Damien's collaged photographs are almost filmic in their blending of captured singular images into a movement. Damien started his career as fashion editor for Mixte, Purple Fashion and Dazed and Confused.

Today we went as a department to see a century of fashion, in the V&A's touring Fashion photography exhibition 'Selling Dreams'.
Thank you Iona of The McManus for managing to take four groups of us through a century of amazing fashion photographs and introducing us to this wonderful museum and gallery. The exhibitions runs from 28 September 2012 - 6 January 2013 and is well worth a visit.

Harmony Nicholas

 

Australian photographer Harmony Nicholas's work often is very bold, brash, humorous and visually striking, I liked the 'paper dressing doll' concept for this editorial for Merge Magazine.

Pamela Reed and Mathew Radar pack their collaborative work with fun, style, creative zeal and technical know how, their fashion presentation, for it is more than photography, is exploding with ideas and experimentation.

Guillaume Nallet

"One of these nights at the pub next door, exhausted after shooting a ridiculous Ad campaign (again...), my friend photographer and I discussed about having some creative going on, maybe one of these things to prove ourselves that we can do creative work -doing good for our egos too -, so we came up with the idea of shooting a quirky Doll story with vibrant colors." Guillaume Nallet

Bella Borsodi

Origami fashion, using shirts, pants and jeans instead of paper . . . certainly makes you think about your clothes differently. Bella Borsodi is an Austrian photographer who's still life photography has stretched the boundaries of her genre. These images were created as an advertising campaign for Yalook.com.

Phillip Toledano

Phillip Toledano is a photographer who likes his photographs to be like unfinished sentences, leaving space for questions. Phillip Toledano's work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper, The London Times, The Independent Magazine, Le Monde and many others.

Richard Burbridge

Photographer Richard Burbridge worked with model Magdalena Frackowaik to produce these startling 'scary lace' images for Vogue Italia. (thanks)

Extra Extra Paper Doll

Paper is plant fibre and has many common qualities with fabric, therefore it is a great medium for experimenting, manipulating, cutting and folding it can make startling costume pieces. These examples of paper fashion are the result of a collaborative project by Amy M Phillips and Fairlight Hubbard, a called Extra Extra Paper Doll. Amy and Fairlight are stylists, photgraphers and art directors who also own a model agency called Eye Management.
