The May 2015 Vogue Italia Karl Templer editorial exhibits the unmatched vision of the high fashion stylist. Templer dressed models Kalya Scott, Julia Cumming and Cierre Skye in pieces that mixed couture with meals, hence the title "Food for Thought."
Working along with Templer was photographer Steven Meisel who placed this Vogue Italia team on messy, unkempt beds. This choice made the production all the more unusual as steaks and cutlery are often seen at the kitchen table instead of bedrooms.
Despite the challenging nature of Food for Thought, Templer made it work at every turn with sheer dresses, beaded frocks and lingerie pieces. Each item let on separate and distinct motifs for the current spring season.
