Fashion always repeats, always revives. Of late we’ve seen not just a revival of the 1980s, but also of much earlier 20th century periods such as the 1920s and 1930s. Such revivals influenced both the clothing and the pictorials meant to evoke a collections’ spirit, and many of the pictorials have further drawn influence from the art movements of the day. Take the shoots which were inspired in large part by the art nouveau work of Alphonse Mucha. In a similar vein, Eniko Mihalik’s 25 pictorial pays tribute to Gustav Klimt.
Though almost surrealist by way of its layering of body paint and projection, in this shoot Eniko’s body becomes Klimt’s canvas; the swirled body paint taken from his 1909 Tree of Life, the nudity a toned down take on the erotica that was present in much of his work.
Works in the pictorial by Klimt include The Kiss and a portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.
