A feast for the eyes Kristen McMenamy stars in ‘Love in All the Wrong Places’ by Steven Klein for the September 2013 issue of W Magazine. All is not what it seems in the neon afterglow of this auto-erotic adventure. With amped up characters made to resemble live action animation, Klein’s hyper-vivid imagery creates a kind of Cool World effect where real people appear to be inside an alternate reality. Embroiled in the ecstasy of obsession McMenamy leads this band of brilliant performers as they dare to delve into the darker side of fashion art. Bold beauty erupting into overt acts of neo-noir expressionism, (Fashion Editor) Edward Enninful embraces the surrealistic side of style with wildly arresting looks topped with avant-garde accessories. Powerful and polarizing, this controversial series exploded on the scene with all the passion of the human condition wrapped up in one wonderfully provocative piece. We must remember it is the job of an artist to upset and offend – so let go of the literal and let the true beauty of this deliciously twisted tale move and inspire you. Intense interchanges fearlessly played by Kristen McMenamy, Crystal Renn, Rich Stinger, Minkah Davidson, Blake Kuchta & (activist) Janie Martinez.
