Numéro Korea #13 August 2009: Kass, What?
by Rie Cau posted on July 22, 2009The August 2009 issue of Numéro Korea marks the very first anniversary of the Korean style magazine.
To celebrate the notable magazine‘s first birthday, Horst Diekgerdes photographed Estonian model Carmen Kass for the special occasion.
The result is a rather controversial cover.
As oppose to the usual glamour shot of the richest woman in Estonia, the pronounced photographer captures and shows an unconventional and above all, disturbingly distraught image of the Baltic beauty.
Styled by Samuel François, the 30-something year old appears somewhat haggard and wasted with her dark messy eyebrows, sickly pale skin tone and deadly zombie-like expression.
Unmistakably, this arouses an intense tug of war between likes and dislikes in terms of reception amongst the industry.
Loving fans also raise concerns for the metaphysics of the distinguishably avid smoker.
Nonetheless, the composition of the look discernibly mirrors the avant garde grungy chic designer Rick Owens with its fierce individual and intractable attitude.
This wild woman will certainly compel readers into another dimension.
