Woman ( styling )

What is it about androgyny that so intrigues? It’s been a fascination in the fashion world for some time: girls who look like boys, boys who could be girls. Henryk Lobaczewski plays to that fascination in his latest shoot, titled simply WOMAN, deliberately casting model Lola van Vorst of Australia’s Next Top Model fame for her high cheekbones and strong features. If, as the two models lock lips in an intimate kiss, you find yourself pleasantly confused about the gender balance, then Lobaczewski’s job is more than done.

In its striking high contrast black and white, WOMAN couldn’t be more perfectly photographed. The models’ dirty skin doesn’t just create a grittiness in the shoot but also cleverly brings out the detail and mid-tones. And regardless of whether full length or close-up, nude or clothed, every image is steeped in a raw and emotive sensuality.

Military fashion ( styling )

With autumn / fall 2011′s fashions on the horizon, military fashion is a done and dusted look. It still crops up from time to time, but after a decade as a dominant look it now simply fails to inspire our own wardrobe choices. It does, however, continue to turn heads. And you can thank the past centuries’ skilled tailoring for that. Be it at a royal wedding or within the pages of a fashion magazine, military uniforms catch the eye.
It’s for that reason that British Harper’s Bazaar magazine turns to the style for their Tough Luxe pictorial. But note here and now that it’s a jewellery pictorial. They, like us, aren’t suggesting that you take to the streets dressed in G.I. greens and hot pants, but they do have a few pieces of jewellery to recommend to you.
