Beauty: Bibi by Michael Taborsky in 'Dazed Fairy'

With the magazine publishing industry growing bigger than ever and the format of magazine continuously shifting, it's never been so easy to create a magazine online. One that stood out was institutemag.com. I particularly like the beauty editorials such as 'Dazed Fairy' by Michael Taborsky, a talented photographer who has only been shooting fashion and beauty since 2012. I particularly like the softness and shallow depth of field, this effect to portraits really draws you in. Her skin is like silk complimenting the colourful hair, beauty and accessories styling. This is a good example of talented individuals making a striking editorial. She certainly is a captivating dazed fairy.

Model Exposure: Archana, The Indian Model

Archana Kumar came up on my models.com feed and my, what a beauty she is! You rarely see striking Indian models on the Western model circuit as they are usually Bollywood actresses (who are glamorously gorgeous). However Archana possesses both feminine and masculine beauty with strong jaw and cheek lines; it is no wonder she's getting featured in the top fashion magazines including Vogue India, Elle India, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire. Her natural beauty is charming and distinguished. It's always refreshing seeing a face so captivating and interesting.

Fashion: 'Occupied' by Sebastian Mader, styled by Vanessa Chow for Interview Magazine

I like fashion photo shoots that are different and have a concept behind them and I aim to share the best and most imaginative shoots I come by on VEST as there's a lot of boring 'samey' fashion photography out there! This shoot featuring very glamorous shoes and lexus clutch bags from the likes of Dior, Jimmy Choo, Emilio Pucci, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors, Bvlgari, Giuseppe Zanotti styled by Vanessa Chow, photographed by Sebastian Mader is a great example of creative photography. The simple concept of contrasting a 'not-so-glamorous' public toilet with beautiful vibrant shoes really grabs the viewers attention. A great typology of the latest angle-strap heels this summer season. Make-up : Junko Kioka (Jose Managemeny), Manicure : Kasey Herman for Julep, Set Design: Nicholas Des Jardins.)
