There's a lot going on in this editorial: wild clothes, crazy makeup, and a lot of editing...and what could have turned into a gigantic train wreck produced some amazing images. Karlie Kloss deserves a ton of credit here, as she is the only model featured in the editorial but puts on so many different faces and poses that it sometimes feels like a completely different girl. The art direction in these shots is stunning. It's whimsical and almost reminds me of a children's book. My favorite image is the second, and I'm still trying to figure out how that picture was made. At first glance it appears as a watercolor illustration, but the model really did pose for this. The juxtaposition between the light pink background and the dark, grim tree with girls stuck on it is beautiful. The first image also has this whimsy, with the elongation of Karlie on the left, and I love her expression in the carriage. Once again I'm trying to guess how this shot was ultimately composed; the ground looks painted, I'm trying to figure out if the sky is real or not, but the final photo is fantastic. The final picture could be used as a classic circus or ballet advertisement, and I love the pastel color palette. The third photo is another fantastic combination of bight and dark imagery, with the beautiful rose petals and tea party surrounded by dying, withering trees. This editorial is definitely out there, but in the best way possible.
