Image of the Day

. A shot from the new Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2012 campaign – Lara Stone by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Cool concept and composition, amazing light, great clothes and styling.

Stella McCartney Fall 2011 campaign.

Natalia Vodianova shot by Mert & Marcus.

So nice – can't wait to see it in print. The sewn-on tag, layering, and overall feel remind me of View On Colour magazine.

I like the intensity of the red in this image from the new Givenchy campaign, especially in contrast with the background – an unexpected combo and a nice counterpoint to ubiquitous (and much-loved) camel and navy.

Kind of reminds me of Vincent Gallo's red boots in Buffalo 66. Photos by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Intensely Muted

256 Colors

The color in this new Louis Vuitton campaign is intense. Things don't really look like that in real life, but in this case I think the lighting and post-production are so well done that it inspires a sort of heightened awareness of color, which I think is useful in real life. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott (who I have mentioned previously here, here, and here) continue to revisit this theme.
