Schon's Through The Looking Glass editorial offers a seldom seen merger between photography and illustration. Artist Stuart Patience teamed up with Michiel Meewis who took these remarkable images, speaking to the brilliance that can come of the two realms.
Models Katie Braatved and Mary Ballantyne were the subjects of Through The Looking Glass. In each shot, their arms, legs or head were replaced by Patience's drawings, seen in his sketches of birds, purses and rabbits. These animal-themed images were interspersed with Contributing Fashion Editor Kay Korsh's stylings which came to the fore via brands Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Chanel and David Coma. Korsh remained current throughout as he took exclusively from Fall/Winter 2012/2013 collections, making the featured pieces all the more accessible.
