1 Lets Play Football Wearing Gucci?

I have just got hold of the new L'OFFICIEL Paris magazine 90th birthday issue, and it is packed with amazing photoshoots and beautiful imagery.
The one shoot I wanted to mention is by photographer Mason Poole titled '90 Minutes'.The shoot is of models dressed in an abundance of flowing silks, furs and patent leathers... playing football! Each model is wearing knee high coloured football socks to match their dresses by designers such as Lanvin, Gucci and Prada. I think this shoot is fun and its really refreshing to see some fashion photography that's a bit different.

 

 

L'OFFICIAL PARIS Fashion Magazine

I have to admit I am a self confessed Fashion Magazine hoarder.
I remember at uni everybody used to rip images out of magazines for mood boards..... This used to kill me! A good fashion mag to me is like a piece of artwork in itself. All these beautiful photoshoots and images all compiled into a portable treat to get lost in....
I have just received the new L'OFFICIEL PARIS magazine with Beyonce as the cover shoot. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this issue of L'officiel. Beyonce was meant to look like African royalty and had her face voluntary darkened for the shoot. Critics have protested over what they deemed another instance of offensive blackface for the sake of fashion, However fans are arguing that the shoot was very artistic.
Personally I think the shoot is beautiful, with lots of African styled prints bold Jewellery pieces its nice to see a fashion shoot that is a bit different and not so predictable like most shoots are.
