Architecture-Accenting Fashion Shoots

This Kinfolk Magazine Editorial Spotlights Richard England

Richard England is a Maltese architect who is deemed to be a key player in the progression of Mediterranean modernism and his striking creations are set as the backdrop for this Kinfolk magazine editorial. The project is shot by Romain Laprade with a focus that falls on the clean-cut silhouettes of the structures, the model's colorful ensembles and the expressive relationship between the two.

The shoot definitely harbors some surrealist undertones. Dubbed 'Lucid Dreams,' the name is a good descriptor of what the artistic intent behind the Laprade-shot Kinfolk magazine editorial is. The piece fuses the fashion universe with that of modernist architecture, showcasing that when boundaries are blurred, the imagination becomes limitless.
