Angela Lindvall – My Home Is My Farm

by Mertol Akinci posted on June 05, 2009

I would have loved to live as a young adult in the late 60’s, in an era where humans partially detached themselves from a conservative and rigid way of life. A whole new generation was celebrating a totally new kind of music, a totally new way of living – one that stood for freedom. A generation that broke the cycle of routine, the silence of the bourgeoisie and thus the rules of a then narrow-minded society. It was all about discovering the world – not just physically. It was about discovering oneself. The spirit, the soul and the body as well.

Steven Meisel For Moroccan Holiday

by Mertol Akinci posted on May 20, 2009

The editorial accordingly titled, ‘Moroccan Holiday‘, that he did for italian Vogue’s May issue, takes you on a sensual trip and appears to be more than just a simply a get away from the every day. In it, Meisel takes the top Russian model, Sasha Pivovarova , and juxtaposes her by shooting the piece in the hot desert – making Sasha the desert rose and the viewer feel like a fascinated local native.

Hey Mates! Last week we told you all about the Summer Swimsuit Issue of V Magazine in the Cover Watch category. And if you remember, we told you that Super Mario aka Mario Testino had shot the hottest supermodels in super fly beach- and swimwear.

Rings a bell, yeah? So I thought that it would be a sin to withhold these beauties that appear in issue 59 and created a little photo to summarize!

Claudia Schiffer For Numéro Tokyo

by Mertol Akinci posted on March 19, 2009

Claudia Schiffer proves once more that she is still in the game and will appear on the cover of Numéro TOKYO´s April ´09 issue. Schiffer, who appears to have lost some weight, still possesses more than just a touch of blond elegance. Rumors, that her beauty has slowly started to fade due to her age, should be proven wrong beyond the hint of a doubt when looking at this cover and the wonderful pictures that go with it in an editorial inside this issue.
