Devon Aoki: fashion & forniphilia

While fashion has been playing with themes of fetish in a very modern and mainstream way, it’s the old masters that keep re-emerging as the inspirations behind it all. From Guy Bourdin to Helmut Newton (his nudes given a whopping homage in the latest issue of Love magazine) to the forniphiliac tendencies of Allen Jones, which inspired this shoot from POP.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
