Stylist Nathalie Croquet and photographer Daniel Schweizer recreated high-fashion parody images to showcase the beauty of aging women. The series, titled 'Spoof,' features Nathalie Croquet who recreates iconic images without photo manipulation, enhancements or editing.
The images are staged to be high-fashion parody photographs and are placed next to their original inspirations in order to create a comparison.
Each image displays an immaculate representation of the original. The photographs are inspired by shots that feature supermodels like Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen. This collection was a personal project that appeared on Nathalie Croquet's social media channels like Instagram and Facebook. This stylist played the role of photo editor and fashion model in an attempt to encourage attainable beauty ideals.
