Retro Cinematic Editorials

Spellbound in Vogue July 2011 Channels 40s Film Noir

Spellbound in Vogue July 2011 features top models Frida Gustavsson and Lara Stone alongside actor Alexander Skarsgard in a cinematic editorial that channels 40s film noir. Fashion editor Grace Coddington and photographer Peter Lindbergh combine creative forces for the storytelling editorial, weaving a tale about a complicated love triangle and infusing it with opulent fashion from Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu.

Lara Stone plays the femme fatale in Spellbound in Vogue July 2011, while Frida Gustavsson is the alluring "other" woman. To his credit, Alexander Skarsgard's dapper, gentlemanly aesthetic would look right at home in a 40s movie. The dramatic Vogue U.S. editorial oozes sensuality, luxury and tension from image to image -- all the ingredients for a memorable magazine pictorial.
