Comic | Tragic ::: Sleek Editorials


I really love how Sleek is trying to retell stories with their fashion editorials. There're three really good women fashion ed.s in the spring 06 edition. My favourite one is The Tragic youth of Lucy by Johnny Gembitzki visualizing the life of Lucy Snowe in Charlotte Bronte's novel La Villette. I ♥ the girl's school athmosphere and the mixture of romantic and preppy-like styles, although Lucy doesn't seem to enjoy herself very much. The model is Jessica Herrick.

The second quite weired editorial is called The Mask by Jean-Francoise Lepage referring on Chuck Russells film The Mask (yes, the one with Jim Carrey). "It's crazy... I've lost all control. When I put on this mask I can do anything... be anything, but it's ruining my life." (Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask). The model looks more ruined than anything-doing. On the first photo she's wearing an absolute georgous white leather trench coat by Ramosport. The model is Sena Cech.

In Room for One model Kemp happily dangled herself over a hotel balcony four storeys up without a harness. Gosh, what are the people doing to our models these days? This editorial is inspired by the film Last Tango in Paris one of the great explorations of cinema's visual possibilities by Bernardo Bertolucci. No easy stuff, but well done in this case.
