Gorgeous ed.
It was less than one year ago. Januart 2008. Half to midnight. We were tired as one can be tired. Red eyes, itching and aching. Tossing and turning. But couldn't go off to bed without having a last
Lyoka moment. Pictures by
Reed and Rader, prelude to her f/w 08-09 season. Prelude to a very, very interesting year - we could say wonderful, we won't and we'll stick to the facts for now. So, we're almost one year later now. What happened to Lyoka ? She's been relentlessly appearing in our favorite magazines.
Flair,
Citizen K (ex-pres-sive),
Vogue Italia (with the ice-cream, please),
A4 (twice, including its current issue, shot by Ivana Kronengold) and
QVEST. Twice too and twice by
Tung Walsh. The five ones above are from the last QVEST we've bought. This fantastic issue with Bregje Heinen on the cover, in an editorial featuring make-up by
Mel Arter. That's all and enough for the glossy pages. Lyoka in motion now. Runways. She embodies the perfect model for shows like
Hussein Chalayan and
Rodarte - she walked these two twice this year. She's also been spotted recently at
Louise Goldin and
Peter Jensen in London,
Y-3,
Yigal Azrouel and
Vivienne Tam in NY,
Bruno Pieters again in Paris. And
Veronique Branquinho too. The more we think of it, the more we know Branquinho and Vandevorst were our biggest favorite of the season. Magnificent castings, atmospheres, stylings. Magnificent. Lyoka was just the perfect one at Veronique Branquinho. Perfect with that lipstick, in that light. Perfect.
