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.)

Fashion: Sigrid Agren by Alexi Lubomirski for W Korea May 2013

I love how vibrant this shoot, 'Splash' is. The ocean blue wall composed with the water splashing creates a wonderful, visually beautiful fashion shoot by Alexi Lubomirski, styled by Brian Molloy featuring French-Swedish model Sigrid Agren. (Makeup by Tyron Machhausen, Hair by Teddy Charles, Nails by Ana-Maria). I think the lighting is great and you can tell the 'sharpening' tool was on overload in the Photoshop editing room to make the light reflected off the water as vivid as possible. The shadows and light create beautiful drama along with Agren's fierce model facial expressions. I love Molloy's monochrome styling, keeping with S/S 13 black/white trend featuring sharp tailoring. Among the sea of numerous fashion editorials, this certainly stands out. It goes to show you don't always need a famous face to make a great fashion shoot, just a talented photographer, stylist and model to make the clothes come alive. This shoot features on W Korea May 2013 issue.
