Life Goes By Pretty Fast.....

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite editorials of all time, featuring supermodel Eniko Mihalik for Vogue Paris that was photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in 2008.

This editorial takes readers through a lifetime of ages as Eniko (who was age 22 in 2008) is transformed from age 10 to age 60 in a single editorial. With the changes in Eniko's expression and poses, along with the different make up, hair, and styling for each photo, the magazine was able to pull off this concept beautifully.

The spread starts off with Eniko, at age 10.

Her youthful facial features (such as her adorable dimples), as well as her giggly expression and half hidden smile all give the illusion that in fact Eniko is 10 years old, at the dawn of life. AMAZING!

This next photo is the model at age 20....

Here, you can tell the model is just discovering herself...experimenting with makeup and various accessories.... even straightening her hair. Her expression is hopeful and excited for her life ahead of her.

It's funny to look at this photo because Katie-Lu and I will be turning 20 in January... this editorial makes me realize how young we still are.

Next up, age 30...

Corrupted by her 20's, Eniko at age 30 seems to have been through a decade of experimentation with drugs....her expression is a little "too cool for school" in the sense she's been there, done that.

Age 40....

With the styling in this photo you can see that now the model is middle aged and that she's somewhat of a cougar!

Age 50...

Here, Eniko's taste has been refined with age...she's aging with class, which is the best way to do it, if you ask me.

And finally, Age 60...

I love this last photograph because it gives those of us who are young something to look forward to. Here, age 60 is portrayed as a time of inner peace and self-actualization. Although she still has a few decades to look forward to herself, Eniko seems to have great confidence in who she is and the life she's experienced. Here, she radiates inner beauty opposed to the outer beauty she had in her youth.

What are your thoughts on this editorial? Every time I take a look at these photos I'm amazed.

Industrie Mag Editorial

Every once in awhile I come across a new editorial that just blows me away. A few days ago I found this set of photographs featuring Marilyn Agency's Eniko Mihalik for the first issue of Industrie Magazine. This 12-page spread, photographed by Richard Bush and styled by Sarah Richardson is unlike any other shoot I've never seen before.

These days, there are new magazines popping up right and left that hardly stick around for more than a few issues. Based on this editorial alone I have a good feeling about Industrie Mag....

Take a look!





A typical photoshoot on the beach usually results in something pretty commercial (just think about VS swim). The sun-kissed models with tousled "beach babe" hair along with the colorful bikinis and water-front scenery tends to give most shoots a light-hearted, summery feeling.

However, Bush adds an element of edginess and uniqueness to this shoot with his choice to make the photos black and white. I like this shoot because he uses interesting, and almost awkward (but not awkward) camera angles.

Sarah Richardson also does a great job by styling this beach shoot in a very unconventional way....absolutely no swim suits in sight! Instead, she uses (gosh, it's hard to describe) shimmery crystal and metallic body suits.....sort of like extreme body jewelry! I see chains, metal plates, sequins....and is that Frodo's mithril? Whatever it is, these clothes catch the sunlight, making the photographs that more interesting to look at.....because who doesn't like shiny objects?









Also, Eniko brings an intensified energy to this shoot which is very memorable. I love her strong poses and piercing eyes...they just lock with yours when you look at these photos!

Here are a few more pictures from the editorial!
