Berlin-based photographer Karel Kuehne finds inspiration in model Anne Sophie Monrad in his latest work for Quality Magazine April 2010. The shoot, entitled ‘La Muse,’ features menswear-inspired pieces including blazers, catsuits and loose-fitting ties.
This airy and nostalgic shoot styled by fashion editor Jane Garber takes place in some kind of warehouse. Surrounded by paint cans and dirty floors, Monrad keeps a high fashion stature that makes every shot to die for.
Implications - Consumers in modern society are constantly looking for reminders of the past. Products that feature an element from the past are appealing to those who desire a feeling of nostalgia. Companies could develop more of their items with this in mind to attract a wider range of customers.
