Shape Up With Bright Colors & Bold Patterns for Spring

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

The body can do great things, and using fashion to alter its dimension is all the more interesting. Amica used bright colors and bold shapes to alter the illusion of model Alana Zimmer‘s figure in the spread “Colore” from the February 2011 issue. Electrifying garments from Prada, Jil Sander, Pucci and more really make the images by photographer Ishi pop.

MODEL MOMENT: Alana Zimmer

Dear lord, has black-on-black ever looked this good? Alana looks effortlessly cool with her Balenciaga bag and her cropped tailored jacket. Lets not even start with those amazing shoes! Miss Zimmer sure does know how to do black-on-black right.

FASHION PORN: Alana Zimmer by Vanina Sorrenti For i-D May 2009

Love the juxtaposition of the strappy studded shoe with the half nude model. Probably the only time where I will praise the work of the photoshopper responsible for this image.

SPREAD UM: “Sonate” Numéro 101 March 2009

Edited by Kirby Marzec

With a natural, Victorian housewives meet “The Secret Garden” sort of vibe, Phil Poynter’s spread for Numéro 101 March 2009 is a beacon of fashion innocence. Okay, so we all know that ‘fashion’ and ‘innocence’ don’t belong in the same sentence, but models Alana Zimmer, Alyona Osmanova and Vika Kuropnyatkova make all that is naive, guiltless and pure somewhat real. Poynter’s use of natural light and overexposure are brilliant, in combination with the vulnerable poses, producing an eerie, yet beautiful scene. And to seal the deal, the vertical ruching on the Dior dress (pictured above) matches the brushed-back grain of Alyona Osmanova. I am in love. 

Thanks Fashion  Copious!

Spread Um: Cole Mohr and Alana Zimmer for Dancian in Zoo Magazine, Fall 09

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

This spread in Zoo Magazine’s latest issue displays some of the wackiest fashion I’ve seen in awhile. The dress Alana Zimmer is wearing exceeds every positive adjective I could use to describe it. I want it to hang in my closet. And the garments Cole Mohr is wearing are so cracked out and crazy; it’s about time someone wore something that’s actually head-turning. Love the blazer skirt with the high tops. Indies, take note- be crazy, crack-out your outfits this weekend.

Thanks to Korey Lartigue-Webb for the photos.
