Twelve Calendar
Berlin Fashion Week is starting today, so i suppose we are all anticipating for the great avant-garde capital city to reveal its new gems for next winter. One of the week's hottest projects is the Twelve Calendar, a collaboration between Derzeit Magazine and photographer Lena Emery, showcasing 12 of the best new models and labels from Berlin.
Born Sleepy by J.W. Anderson
J.W.

I just love the brand's spooky, ironic campaign, shot by Alex Sainsbury, featuring model Oliver Greenall from Elite London.

He personally describes his work as "a voyeristic snapshot of perceived humanity, complete with freaks and fakery; a gothic wonderland illuminating the grey area between truths and lies".

Although he was a fashion and commercial photographer, he is mostly known for his artistic nude photographs.
