Editorially Speaking, Fashionably Noted v1. Oct/Nov 2013

Fashion editorial is obviously a subjective thing, but when it is really right, it can stop not one, but thousands of readers to pause.  I'm going to start featuring favorites on a monthly basis.  If you have any references or recommendations to share, please feel free to offer up and I can potentially showcase for our readers.

To start, you have to do a little digging, but ultimately you can find a few of your favorite places to go to get the skin up on best editorial shots, campaigns…I personally love to peek in to both FashionCopius as well as F.TAPE.  There are so many others, but like I said, once you find a reputable roundup of exquisite work, it's hard to stray.

1. Here is the amazing Stella Tennant featured for a piece called The Fashion Factory by Benjamin Alexander Huseby for the Gentlewoman FW 13.14 editorial  This piece showcases the unbelievable process and results through a Scottish knitting and weaving factory on p.158. Stella is such a perfect choice for this editorial because there is a stunning androgyny about her that makes it easy to see these fabrics beautifully on both a man or a woman.  Plus, she is ultra-interesting to look at.  She is captured both femininely and rather aristocratically standing straight up in a menswear type suit. Conversely, when she is  posing on the ladder with a split-skirt diamond-wool suit, she takes on a more womanly and seductive look.  Beautiful photography, incredibly talented model, history of these sumptuous fabrics and the setting make it oh so chic; oh, and I will always love black and white photography.  Cheers!
