# Cross-Stitched Photography Inge Jacobson & Sebastian Faena Team Up to Create Vintage-Styled Art By Josh Mears | Published 2012-01-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-stitch References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/18664/cross-stitched-fashion-ads-by-inge-jacobsen-for-georg-jensen.html) & [ingejacobsen](http://www.ingejacobsen.com/) In a [collaboration of epic proportion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition) artist Inge Jacobson and photographer Sebastian Faena have come together to create these [cross-stitch fashion photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule). This [intricate cross-stitch series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals) is the result of over 2,000 hours of intensive tedious cross-stitching labor by Mr. Jacobson. The cross-stitching collection is a reinterpretation of Sebastian Faena's Fall/Winter 2011 fashion campaign. The attention to detail brings this artwork to life, and even gets some real-life infused into the collection as Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen steps in. This cross-stitched collection features both fully stitched and partial stitched pieces which have been brought to live in these photographs by the aforementioned Danish model. The cross-stitched crusade of a collection really emphasizes the dedication and tediousness of art as it shines a new beacon of light on the art of cross-stitching. The collection not only further publicizes Faena's collection; it also highlights the lost art of cross-stitching and showcases the effectiveness of transition from life to imitation of life.
