NY-based photographer Julia Chesky had a dream-come-true moment with the recent opening of Lanvin’s first NY store, for which she photographed both both interior and exterior shots. Normally she doesn’t get past the glass windows so judging from her comments the new perspective was an eye-opening one. Our favorite images were the ones like this one that zeros in on details and take us out of the display. One thing that’s so often missed with lux lines whether the images are taken from runways or storefront or magazine editorials is the beautiful detailing that goes into the products themselves or the background items used to enhance the setting. That’s why close-ups of bags, shoes, accessories, and make-up are golden–we rarely get them. More at Chesky’s blog, Modelizing.

From on-line magazine New Wave we present an arresting editorial entitled ”Machinist.” Photographed by Kate Friend, it’s styled by Rachel Freire. The models are Diandra Forrest and Betty Adwole and they are wearing designs from the Machine-A boutique in London.
