thumps up, perlefine. i dont recall where i saw that gemma editorial but i remember i liked it. the blueish one is my favorite.

keep them coming!

I'm feeling like a flat tyre, and I can't find the right words to describe his style but I think it's truly inspiring. The editorial from #2 is when the styling first jumped out to me, all the geometric compositions and objects, that's so me. Well, part of

And then the editorials with Gemma, very different, probably because it was in studio and... question. To what extent is it up to the photographer to decide what's in the picture? Anyhow, both styles appeal to me.

Wouldn't he make a terrifyingly great duo with Bourdin?

thanks for the thread, perlefine.

i have noticed that he is the name behind some of the best editorials...
for example the (in-)famous hollywood issue of vogue italia by steven meisel (from jedroot.com)

i think he is amazing

stilista · 12-07-2005

He gets to work with the world's best photographers using the world's best clothes, how can he fail?!

I do love his work though...

the first two photos, perlefine! i just had a look at his portfolio and it's very impressive, esp. his collaborations with roversi. also, his i-D work is just brilliant!!!

This thread has been left untouched for over a year.

Clothes that I thought to be unworthy of my attention before are the ones I fall in love with in Roversi's editorials which again are styled by Enninful. Match made in heaven.

Big kudos should go to the art direction behind many of the shoots already posted here.

the Vogue IT editorial is probably my favorite this year. I feel the same as perlefine, I'm not so sure about the selection of the clothes, they could've been the same and looked terrible under a different lense. i think enninful definitely gets a good ride while working with roversi...I'd really like to see more editorials...

mishahoi · 17-08-2006
