Of all the fashion editorials which were inspired by Where The Wild Things Are, Gavin Bond’s photo shoot for the February 2010 edition of GQ UK seems like the furthest stretch of the imagination. Unless, of course, by wild you mean a Victoria’s Secret model cavorting on a stripper pole? Or perhaps holding a cat in front of her err… torso, or dressing up like a cowboy is relevancy enough? Unlikely. Also unlikely is that anyone will complain.

Credit where credit is due however. These is one picture that contains a pair of antlers. Though, miffingly, it also contains a lever-action shotgun.

More obvious, and equally as gratuitous, was Gavin Bond’s other recent work for GQ: backstage at Victoria’s Secret.

The Where The Wild Things Are pictorial features Victoria’s Secret models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Shannan Click, Elyse Taylor, Lindsay Ellington, and Candice Swanepoel. You can see all the pictures from the shoot by clicking on the thumbnails below.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
