Going for the high fashion jugular, Jeff Bark kills it with this avant-garde editorial for the April 2013 issue of Vogue Ukraine. Zuzanna Bijoch brings the drama in ‘Haute Couture,’ proving why this new addition to the Vogue family will have no problem fitting in with the “big girls.” Effortlessly engaging, (stylist) Philip Vlasov creates a series of stylish vignettes, elevating this sprawling, suburban setting to that of fashion art. Providing a delicious juxtaposition for the extreme story-line, Bark uses the neutral backdrop to explore the darker themes of shattered fantasies. Playing the part of a wilted housewife, Bijoch captures the stifled, sadness of a woman caught in a beautiful prison of her own making. With a daringly, delusional trip down memory lane, she faces each frazzled, frame – a twisted reflection of dreams not met.
