The Spring/Summer 2012 Var Magazine 'Fierce Creature' photoshoot provides a sultry twist on the art, photography and fashion publication. Model Olga Maliouk is found here in an assortment of contortions, all the while clad in apparel that is largely reminiscent of thick, shiny plastic wrap.
Maliouk has worked with Black Book Magazine and Surface Magazine in the past. And while she does have a proclivity for lingerie spreads, her association with photographer Miko Lim for the Fierce Creature editorial has taken her portfolio to the next level. Gem-laden baby doll shorts and long a-line skirts appear to be almost painted on here, effectively suggesting that it took a significant amount of effort for Maliouk to merely get them on. This however is hardly surprising given the pliable nature of Fierce Creature.
