I just love the pairing of photographer Andrew Yee
and super-stylist Damian Foxe,
and their endlessly fabulous editorials for
The Financial Times How To Spend It Magazine.
This time they have Dolce and Gabbana
fragrance and jewelry model Kate King,
at the exotic Fairmont Hotel in Jaipur,
opulent in high metallics,
luxuriant in high sheen makeup
with a deep, bold mouth.
I love this!

Actually, I always love the combination
of photographer Andrew Yee,
stylist Damian Foxe,
and the Financial Times How To Spend It magazine.
They are always such an innovative and exciting combination,
creating the most edgy-fab-cool editorials.
In the new issue of How To Spend It they have created
a modern take on the 50’s,giving the new season’s fashions
from the likes of Prada, Dior and Dolce and Gabbana
a gorgeous and spectacular retro spin
with wigs and hairdos by Schlomi Mor,
and the most fabulous winged eyeliner
by makeup artist Nives Riddles.
Model Samantha Gradoville gets right into character,
breathing life into the story
and looking absolutely beautiful in every frame.

Photographer Andrew Yee and stylist Karen Levitt
have created a truly defining moment
for the season in the new issue of How To Spend It.

Many publications have toyed with 60’s inspired shoots this season,
but after seeing this one I realize they were all
just part of the warm up round.
Yee’s vibrancy is electrifying.
He takes you on a Warholian pop-art ride,
where bold blocked color meets mod shapes,
and where his models fit so well with his backgrounds
they appear to be part of the art itself.
The models in question, Kamila Filipcikova and Karo Mrozkova,
slide straight into the posture of the 60’s,
embodying the mod moment, validating the layout.

Levitt brilliantly manages to take new season fashion
from designers including Fendi, Dior, Courreges, Stella McCartney,Givenchy and Louis Vuitton
and meld it with the silhouette, colors and structure
of the mod movement
in one of the most exciting stories I have seen in ages.
I can’t stop looking at these phenomenal images!
