New Editorial. Cake Magazine. Wish I Could

Out this week in Cake Magazine is another collaboration of mine with the fabulous duo of AL&K Photography. The Wish I Could Editorial is inspired by the pared back aesthetic of the late, great Corinne Day's early work. The styling and beauty are minimalist, the look often focusing on a single luxurious piece, such as the cashmere cardigan in the shot above. Featuring the stunning Vanessa Jobb of Premier Model Management the shoot had an all female crew on the day including Make Up by Shino Ariizumi and Hair by Michiko Yoshida. I think the result is an intimate snapshot of a girl, home alone, unselfconscious and lost in thought. Click the image below to see the entire editorial on Cake-mag.com

She Speaks

Kate Moss rarely gives interviews for print, never mind to camera. The Love must have gone to her head because here she is talking ribbons and romance with US Vogue in the weeks preceding her fabulous wedding to Jamie Hince.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months: Here's backstage pics of SS11's version of ugliness

Trail of Destruction

Can't I get ready for work without annihilating my room??











Or leaving my key's behind...

Reverse Photoshopping!

The popular media's argument about fashion campaigns and magazines featuring images of women who's proportions have been photoshopped beyond realistic proportions is ongoing. "A crime", is the outcry, a travesty inflicted on all of the (inverted comma's) REAL WOMEN out there. Shoulders made wider than hips. People missing knees. 50 year old women with pert tits and not a line in sight. EVIL. WRONG. WITCHCRAFT!!!!! ok we get it, it may have gone a bit far.

BUT NOW.

A new "evil" trend has emerged.

Fashion followers and people who just happened to stumble across this blog I present you with (if you are not already aware...) REVERSE PHOTOSHOPPING!

Yes reverse. You see those pesky magazine folk are loathe to let go of their mac magic mice. In response to the public demand for more realistic images of "real" women's bodies they have now, wait for it... started photoshopping curves ONTO skinny celebs and waif-like fashion models!

Case in point (as highlighted by the cut blog) Megan Fox's errant stomach muscles:

Now you see them




Now you don't




Yes evil Mr Armani is no longer pushing images of a seemingly impossibly sinewy Victoria beckham He's changed tack and started photoshopping curves onto girls who are actually quite sinewy.



Que public outcry of WTF?

All the media/ "real women" ever wanted was some moderation right? But noooo pesky fashion folk couldn't be logical about the whole thing. They are giving the reactionaries what they want, images of women with realistic curves. But actually not really. A two finger gesture to the decriers? Maybe...


P.s. I've decided to define this reverse photoshopping trend "Potatoshopping". i.e. making skinny people look like they may actually have eaten carbs at least once in their lives. Go forth and spread it my pretties.
