This month sees iconic fashion photographer Steven Meisel present a dogging inspired shoot in V magazine. Featuring models Anna Selezneva, Daul Kim, Iris Strubegger, and Naty Chabanenko, Italian Vogue reportedly turned down the explicit images, but interestingly the American mag snatched them up.

Featured Photographer: Yelena Yemchuk

Ukraine-born Yelena Yemchuk got involved in photography as a teenager and an American transplant.  She studied fine art and graphic design at Parsons, and at the Art Center in Pasadena, California.

She worked for a while in the music industry, directing videos and photographing recording artists.  Most notably, she worked extensively with the Smashing Pumpkins (art direction for albums, music videos, etc.) and was even involved with frontman Billy Corgan for several years.

Yemchuk steadily exhibited her own photography and paintings in California.  Now based in New York, she shoots mostly ad campaigns for fashion designers.  Past clients include Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, V Magazine, The New Yorker, international editions of Vogue, and many more.

The figures in Yemchuk’s shots are typically kinetic and dramatic.  The settings are intentional and balanced.  Her portfolio is incredible, and there were so many images to choose from.  But these are some of my favorites from Yemchuk’s official website.

Mag Hag: Tyra Banks for V Mag

You cannot be a black model and not know the story of Mahogany’ said Tyra Banks of the 1975 film starring Diana Ross at the height of her career.

No doubt the model-turned-presenter-turned-entrepreneur identifies with lead character Tracey, a Bronx-born girl who makes it big as a world-famous model and fashion designer.

It is fitting then that the cult movie was the inspiration behind these striking images published in US fashion glossy, V Magazine.

Karl Does a Funny

The New York Times had a fun little story the other day.

Reportedly, last season Karl Lagerfeld and Harper’s Bazaar creative director Stephen Gan were hanging out at Paris Fashion Week and worked up a little fun. “There was Fifi this and Foufou that,” Gan said, mocking some of the designer names.

They came up with a fictional line, Poupou Lapin, and spread rumors about the up-and-comer. Poupou Lapin-au-Chocolat, of course, would be the more affordable offshoot line.

And now somehow ‘Pou Pou Lapin’ is credited for providing the clothing for this shoot in V magazine.

Isn’t fashion fun?
