For its May 2010 issue, Tatler Magazine's Hong Kong edition released an editorial entitled 'The Prophet' photographed by Baldovino Barani.
The shoot was done in an unknown location with the model wearing designs by designers Alexander McQueen, Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, Miu Miu and a myriad of others. The model poses atop beautiful pieces of humongous t-shaped stones and a variation of other unique architecture.
Implications - Ever since the extremely popular trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, a consistent appreciation of unusual surroundings can be noticed within popular culture. Companies should consider implementing unusual characters and un-earthly imagery into product designs in order to catch on to this popular trend.
