Monika Sawicka is One Wild Woman for Tush Magazine

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:00:05 +0000

Decked out in leather, fur and head-to-toe animal print, Monika Sawicka stars in “Upper Wildside” for Tush Magazine‘s issue #28. Expertly captured by photographer Txema Yeste, black and white pictures deliver sullen cheekbones for miles in and a blurred line of where garments end and city begins. Bernat Buscato set the mood with Valentino, Burberry Prorsum and J. Mendel, some sheer enough to read a runny newspaper. The drama would be less without striking hair by Akki Shirakawa and nearly skeletal makeup by Tyron Machhausen.

With Richard Bush behind the lens and Sarah Richardson behind the wardrobe, it’s one dream we’d like to step inside.
