The Viva Moda Summer 2011 issue features an attitude-filled editorial with supermodel Karolina Kurkova, who channels her inner rockstar with the androgynous aesethetic of David Bowie or Prince. Marcin Tyszka is the photographer behind the editorial, while stylist Agnieszka Scibior curated the motley assortment of fashion.
Kurkova is photographed wearing wild patterned separates, metallics and a killer pair of papery cutout pants from the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela and Viktor & Rolf. My favorite look is the second one, in which Kurkova wears a cutout outfit comprised of white doilylike pants, a futuristic gold shirt and topless nude heels. The exaggerated fashion exudes the edginess and couture feel of iconic modern rockstars -- I'm all for it.
