Polka dots reign supreme in the Loren Kemp for The Guardian Weekend photoshoot, shot by photographer Andrew Woffinden. Styled by Natasha Wray, the redheaded Dutch model looks quirky and adorable in polka dot pieces by Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney. This could even pass for a Marc Jacobs ad, with the stark white background, minimalistic styling and offbeat poses.
From spreading her arms in one shot in what seems to be a depiction of the Christian crucifix, to praying in another, the Loren Kemp for The Guardian Weekend photoshoot is sure to stir up some controversy. The minimalist shots are enticing, yet challenging. One thing is for sure: polka dots are not going anywhere anytime soon.
