Those covers are after my own (he)art. All Pantone like.

those images remind me or Prada and Jil Sander ads from the past

^the Prada campaign was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

very nice covers.

^^ Definitely. Both 90s Jil Sander and Prada come to mind.

Back to present, it also screams Céline in a way that makes me feel so tired of an aesthetic that hasn't even completely caught up yet. The turtleneck, stiff materials, basic colors and controlled silhouettes. It seemed refreshing 4 years ago, now I look at it and I wish it was incorporated into wardrobes in a fluid and more organic manner, not so much as a full look you got to have. Because the result, as seen above, is quite dead and uncomfortable to look.

Looking forward to the content of this, though!. Bon always has fantastic stories.

"For me, what stuck were the colours. I chose to explore tonality, how ranges of colours connect and how they can be combined. There are so many rules about colour, but in my mind it’s much more freestyle. A green can complement a purple, while a grey can neutralise an orange, for instance. Shooting the story was almost like playing with toy bricks!"

^Wasn't Kaya in an earlier issue of Bon? The second picture looks familiar to me... or maybe I've just seen something similar floating around the internet?

 

[pellucid]

^ It's probably the latter. I got this issue today and Kaya is in it
