water for elephants

 

Say you got lost in thick, tropical jungle, possibly somewhere in Thailand, and surprisingly only the kindness of a herd of elephants help leads you back to civilisation. If you were the gorgeous model Samantha Grandoville I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a pack of wolves assisted you 'Jungle Book' style. The animal interaction, lighting & photography really capture the deep, humid, sensual mood of the tropics. The retro hair and makeup is spot on sexy. And I love the styling, I want every outfit for my next island holiday!

spring brings a bite from the east

The following editorial highlights the Spring '11 collections, and I think there is a strong modern-asian edge to many of the looks that is subtly sexy. There's inspiration here for everyone. Love the photography, lighting & shadow, styling and body language. I love the Dior.
