Blonde bombshell Ola Rudnicka dresses up like a magician (and a magician's assistant) in the 'Magic Star' editorial for the Vogue Netherlands April 2014 issue. These elegant captures feature red, black and white apparel, from suits and masks to fluffy frocks.
In more than one shot, Rudnicka holds a dove in her hands, which of course adds to the magician theme behind this series. In another shot she stuffs herself into a small box, which will no doubt make viewers think of the woman being sawed in half trick. In other shots she's strapped to a table, or handcuffed. This editorial plays around with the most popular magic tricks, and blends them with stylish and elegant fashion.
This series revives an old form of entertainment in a fashion forward way.
