Wallpaper* Gets Graphic For March Fashion Issue

Wallpaper* is publishing a fashion special for its March issue, which is big on graphic content, graphic shapes and graphic details. It features a suitably graphic cover and an exclusive series of images by fashion and art photographer Juergen Teller.

The fashion issue cover, photographed by Paola Kudacki, features model Ali Michael wearing nothing but a pair of Chanel ankle boots and a Gucci bracelet, while strategically hidden behind a hand-drawn font by Finnish typographers Katariina Lamberg and Anna Ahonen.

Within the issue, Juergen Teller’s casts a wry eye over the key fashion moods and moments of last year, picking clothes and characters to make his point. He shoots Daisy Lowe in the desert in little more than a pair of American Apparel leggings, Victoria Beckham in a bag and Björk strewn around a seaweed beach. The series of images is part of a unique and on-going project backed by Dakis Joannou, one of the world’s leading contemporary art collectors.

Wallpaper* editor-in-chief Tony Chambers says: “Juergen has shot some of the most influential images of the past 20 years. This portfolio is a remarkable commentary on how the worlds of art and fashion are intrinsically linked.”

Other highlights of the issue include 50 pages of first-rank fashion photography, including Alix Malka’s remarkable mix and match of the best of the womenswear collections and Scott Trindle’s take on 1990s revivalism, while Luke Smalley is allowed rare access to the Bauhaus school.

Wallpaper* also takes a look at Tomas Maier’s 6,000 sq ft new emporium in Miami’s Design District; a new adventure in art for Puma; the unique art collection built by Max Mara founder Achille Maramotti and the gallery which is now putting it on display; Andre Balazs’s remarkable new Standard hotel in NYC; a Porsche for purists; a new angle on the seaplane; and eight pages of Copenhagen’s best shopping.
