Nadja Auermann looks behind as she sees ahead by Arnaud Lajeunie for Numéro Berlin #1, FW ’16. Art unleashes the avant-garde beast, setting in motion a dramatic feast. The depth that we reach is the truth by which we seek. As one of the most talented models of all time, her abilities far outweigh the magazine page. A body in full motion is much like a piece of poetic prose. We can appreciate her long limbs and impressive lines, however, perfection is not the goal. Here we seek to uncover truth. To look back is to see ahead that is the function of this fashion spread. The fluid motion of these scenes speak to an understanding of our limits. To benefit from our past mistakes, while still embracing the essence of who we are. That is both arcane and advanced, exposing a kind of beautiful ugliness that exists in the heart of humanity. A truth that’s never told but is always there to know. If you can not only accept that, but learn to love and respect it, you will be witness to wonders of the world. Synergistic styles go hand-in-hand as each piece dares you to dream. Akeem Smith simplifies the silhouette by celebrating the unity of sexuality. His and hers is a thing of the past. Gone are the days of decadence divided, we have entered the arena of avant-garde united. High fashion doesn’t distinguish between male/female, it’s more a measure of intensity. Arnaud uncovers this “model” masterpiece, as each look holds a surprise with designs that deviate from the norm.
Hers is a beauty that travels from the inside out. She’s always benefited from her statuesque figure and perfect face, but it was her willingness to go above and beyond that got the shot. We’re not just talking about a “pretty picture,” we’re speaking about someone’s ability to move beyond themselves. To expose their inner beauty in an attempt to reach a higher plain of understanding. An evolution of richness unfolds as Alice Ghendrih dares to uncover something deeper. The depth by which we reach is the truth by which we seek. Transposed and turned around, she smolders in an iPhone image, with piercing blue eyes that show off smokey shadow. Perfecting the ~ naked makeup ~ look, Auermann’s skin glows with a touch of dusty rose. Her eyebrows have remained architecturally significant, with a line that literally frames her face. By keeping her brows clean, she ensures the look to be one that emanates strength. Joseph Pujalte embraces her signature short dew, by wetting her hair back and letting features lead the way. She always benefited from her statuesque figure and perfect face. But, it was her willingness to go above and beyond, that always got her that perfect shot. We’re not just talking about a “pretty picture,” we are speaking about someone’s ability to move beyond themselves. To expose both her inner and outer beauty in an attempt to reach a higher plain of understanding.
