The Vogue Paris March 2011 spread starring Arizona Muse and Missy Rayder is a striking, surreal editorial for the French issue titled 'Dali Darling' and lensed by Mikael Jansson.
Photographer Jansson was inspired by the famous surreal painter Salvador Dali, who was known for his bold and bizarre images. The influence can be felt throughout the pages with the styling of quirky makeup and realistic mannequin props. Actually, the spread is so eccentric, as the master painter himself once was, I wouldn't be surprised if the fake dolls were actually real models.
Either way, famed surrealist artist Salvador Dali lives on in the Vogue Paris March 2011 spread. I'm sure he would have been proud of this piece of art.
