Stripped-Down Sensual Editorials

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Mario Sorrenti Lays Down "The Rules of Deception" for V Mag

— March 8, 2009 — Naughty
Shot by the brilliant fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, “The Rules of Deception” editorial for V Magazine is a minimalist take on deception and sensuality. By 'minimalist,' I mean that the work has been, for the most part, stripped down to its most fundamental features.

For example, Guinevere van Seenus, the model featured here, is almost completely devoid of accessories. Most of her wardrobe (if you can call it that) consists of deliciously sensuous little black pieces, some of which have strong hints of S & M, as seen in image #2 above.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Fashion - The stripped-down aesthetic of 'The Rules of Deception' editorial highlights the trend towards minimalist fashion, creating opportunities for innovative designs and sustainable fashion practices.
2. Sensual Photography - The sensual and intimate style of Mario Sorrenti's photography in 'The Rules of Deception' editorial reflects the growing trend in the fashion industry to explore and embrace sensuality, opening doors for disruptive innovations in fashion photography techniques and concepts.
3. S&M Influences - The incorporation of strong S&M hints in the wardrobe of Guinevere van Seenus in 'The Rules of Deception' editorial signifies the rising influence of BDSM aesthetics in fashion, creating opportunities for disruptive designs and accessories in alternative fashion markets.

3. Alternative Fashion - The incorporation of S&M influences in 'The Rules of Deception' editorial paves the way for disruptive designs and accessories in the alternative fashion market, catering to the growing demand for unconventional and edgy fashion choices.
