LONDON--Just when you thought that another
editorial of spring summer fashion would make you
sick (or is it just me that I'm already yearning
for autumn winter 2007-8?), along comes
something like this. From the summer issue
of 10 magazine, London-based photographer
Toyin has shown a darker side to florals. I
especially love the etched/photocopied effects
of some of the images, paired with the
Christopher Kane dress (and it would take
some persuasion for me to look at yet
ANOTHER editorial featuring those Kane
minidresses). Toyin is someone most British
fash mag readers will be familiar with, being a
regular contributor to Dazed & Confused
(an insightful/hilarious Q&A here) and having
shot campaigns for McQ and Topshop. She
specialises in showing raw emotions of the 'yoof'
which for me can be a little irritating but here
I think the romanticism adds a dimension of
fantasy that works for me.
Plus ... the main thing is that I'm not sick of
spring/summer 2007 fashion...yet...
