As with most editorials and shots by my favourite photographers, as soon as I glimpsed this shot I was drawn like a moth to the flame... I discovered the shot was by the incomparable
Ellen Von Unwerth, one of my long term FAVOURITE fashion photographer and who I think takes the sexy shots of women since
Helmut Newton. Victoria Beckham seems to have an innate knowledge of who's hot, the coolest, the best - always the best designers, stylists and photographers. I love that pose in the back of the limo, leg flung skyward in typical Von Unwerth abandon - and those amazing
Bridget Back Silver Louboutins! Love. (Am
obsessed with studded shoes ever since clocked Louboutins studded
Ariellas 2 years ago - am currently in love with
dsquared2's spiked, studded babies.) Fabulous. Here are my faves from '
Turk Modasi Serfine' for Vogue Turkey, August 2010 by Ellen Von Unwerth.
Von Unwerth's women are un-apologetically strong, sexy and not afraid to flaunt it. They're rock-chicks, sirens, glamazons & amazons. They are quite often drinking, eating, winking, smoking or draped louchely across a car/couch/man. I love the poses, the makeup, the fashions. Von Unwerth's women are typically long locked vixens with smoky eyes, 6 inch heels, a red lip and disheveled hair. And so it should be. Look how she has transferred the one & only VB into a curvy siren! Here are a few of my fave classic Von Unwerth shots, beginning with one of my favourite shots of all time which used to be on my bedroom wall in 1991 - Nadja Auermann's seminal shoot for Vogue UK -
She is an Enigma (followed by other faves Salma Hayek, Gaga, Vanessa Paradis, Rosario Dawson, Liz Hurley, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis & Alessandra Ambrosio who is currently on the
cover of LOVE magazine - any amazing shot by Mert & Marcus)
