Fashion // Escada

ESCADA presents its new global advertising campaign for Autumn/Winter 2015, shot by photographer Daniel Jackson and featuring model Lily Donaldson. 

The campaign features the new ESCADA signature bag, the ML40. The name honors house founder Margaretha Ley, while commemorating the upcoming 40th anniversary of ESCADA. 

The New York-based Donaldson embodies the classically elegant ESCADA Winter Collection. 

Lily’s mesmerizing gaze and assured poise underscore the new collection’s modern, chic flair.

 Photographer Daniel Jackson has composed captivating, atmospheric images that crystallize the clean lines of the clothes and simultaneously capture the femininity of the collection. 

Showcasing a rich interplay of light and shadow, the photographs are awash with light, ranging from the soft glow of morning to the evocative rays of afternoon with their lengthening shadows. The new campaign was shot in New York City. A few elegant seating elements and minimalist architectural backdrops sketch moments in the life of the modern ESCADA woman.

Art // Rebecca Yanovskaya

Rebecca Yanovskaya is a freelance illustrator working in the fantasy, sci-fi and horror genres. She frequently illustrates mythological stories, natural forces, and aesthetically strong characters. Rebecca's influences include decorative arts, neoclassical and Pre-Raphaelite arts, and theatrical costuming. Despite most artists in her genre using digital and traditional painting tools, she has made the choice to construct her pieces with ballpoint pen and gold leaf. As one of the only primarily ballpoint pen artists working in fantastic realism, her work is easy to identify. A combination of epic scope and moody atmosphere define her signature style, in what can be described as the "Art of the Sublime".

Rebecca is a graduate of the Illustration program at Sheridan College. She lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

Photography // IMPRESSION

 

IMPRESSION by Justin Bartels is a photo series dedicated to the impact clothing creates on our bodies. The black and white photography features a model posing with nothing but the imprint of her fancy high heels, laced corset and underwear line. While the series is both empowering and thought-provoking, IMPRESSION bridges the gap between vanity and practicality.
