For A#9, Jack and Lazaro offered their past collections to several of their closest collaborating photographers and stylists to interpret in their own vision of the Proenza Schouler aesthetic. This project resulted in several beautiful stories that each explore a different facet of their work, and this one from Hyères prize-winning photographer Camille Vivier and stylist Marie Chaix is the most sensual and feminine of them all.
Dutch model Sofie Nielander is transformed into a pin-up goddess wearing the Spring Summer 2009 collection, posing in a dark studio – with the full effect of colour-blocked, metallic and sequined garments giving bold impact against the backdrop. Camille shot with a blurry soft focus, giving a dreamy air to the seductive poses and transforming Sofie’s lush curls into an auburn halo around her head. Hairdresser Seb Bascle pulled her frizzy locks into a high quiff and finished it with a rose, as well as parting it on the side for effortless chic. Makeup artist Lili Choi accented the boudoir vibes with a heavy blue eyelid, sweeping cheekbone rouge and a glossy red lip.
Marie wove together an alluring selection of pieces that ranged from seductive lingerie to floor length gowns, injecting fetish elements with a rockabilly vibe – from the cut-out briefs to a ‘doorknocker’ bra, zipped strap tops and pencil skirts. Shoes from the CFDA-winning collection feature also, with their industrially-inspired ’screwdriver’ heels glimmering dangerously in the muted lights. Transporting the collection into the roaring twenties via the heady hey days of the eighties, this story wows with drop-dead glamour.
