A sleek black dress, heels and hose, a cigarette smoking away…and if looks could kill, then hers say murder. But it’s not a saucy scene from a retro noir in a steamy South American setting. It’s model Adriana Lima posing for Vogue Brazil in an editorial shot by Giampaolo Sgura.
Roadtrip
She hadn’t expected to be left in the middle of nowhere and wasn’t up for hoofing it in heels all the way back to town. But the cab fare for this ride would be a little steep even for her, and Lord knows she’d paid her dues before.
Some excerpts from Danish photographer Signe Vilstrup’s 2011 editorial “Road Trip”, a vignette for a story in the making if ever I saw one.
A Star In Her Own Style
Give me a roadside motel or a truck stop diner, some moody lighting and talented creatives, and my mind’s hard at work cooking up stories behind the photos. I just can’t help myself. Problem is, there are just too many such stories swirling around in my head right now.
In the April 2016 Vogue Italia editorial titled “A Star In Her Own Style”, Vincent Peters shot Angela Lindvall looking like a lady on the run. But whether she’s fleeing from her lover, the law, or running off with the loot, well…who knows? I don’t know what the fashion editorial’s title is supposed to mean. Don’t care, either.
