Model: Iekeliene Stange

This beauty edit is more of an accessories edit, and I’m loving it. All too often stand out accessories blend in due to full body shots and overpowering clothing. Here the focus remains exactly where it should: on the hats, headbands, jewelry and colorful eye-makeup.

This refreshingly bright vintage inspired editorial featuring Iekeliene Stange has a bit of a glamourous heiress trapped in a decaying mental hospital. Check cult to see the rest, including amazing accessories.

Iekeliene Stange shows off her nude body in a beautiful spread from Italian Velvet shot by Marcus Ohlsson. Something about the blinds makes it feel really sexy and naughty.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that being a model isn’t all fun and games. The magazine covers, the runway shows, the after parties, the gorgeous fashion, the male models, the fame, and if you make it big, the fortune. Seems like a great life, no? Well, thanks to photographer Ben Hasset and Muse Magazine, Muse’s issue #16 has one of the most bone chilling and dynamic editorials the fashion industry has ever seen. Shot in black monochrome, the editorial titled “Lonely Spirits” seeks to extract the loneliness, sadness and stress, baggage that models carry on a daily basis. Due to the processing behind the photos, the details are poignant and the overall photo is difficult to see, but the emotion evoked from this spread is raw and real. Lonely Spirits is aimed to put readers under the impression that models, like Iekeliene Stange and Georgina Stojiljkovic, who both appear in the editorial, are not modeling but are simply caught in an expressed  moment of their constant despair. Kudos to Muse and Hasset…it’s about time someone documented the “real” life of a model.
