The December 2007 cover of Vogue Italia. When I saw this cover at the news stand the other day I couldn't help myself. I have never seen a fashion spread like this. Even the Vogue lettering is patterned. It is like they threw out all the rules when designing this one.
As I was posting these images I realized that they looked familiar like a futuristic version of art nouveau. It looks like Mucha. The positioning of the models, the fluid lines, the liquid florals. I am not a fan usually of the rockabilly tatoos or the betty page hair or the over exaggerated liquid eyeliner. I like that era but in a classical Dior way black and white not the modern Trash and Vaudeville type. But I must say here it works. It is probably one of the most psychedelic fashion shoots I have ever seen. Whoever found these textiles and thought of using the nude nylons to break up everything deserves what they are paying them.
As I looked through the story, I longed for the whole magazine to be these images through and through, page after page.
This is the future.
On that note I also think the Monks were way ahead of their time.
I love the Monks and so should you. Check out all of their videos on youtube. The were service men stationed in Germany in the 60's and decided to start a band. What cool dudes
