Zauberkraft: Vogue Germany, July 2009

Written by Tania Braukamper

Anyone who has ever been to Prague will know that the city is, to this day, somewhat of a shrine to Alfons Mucha - who was one of the most prominent Czech artists of the Art Nouveau movement. The July 2009 issue of Vogue Germany features a wonderful shoot titled Zauberkraft, inspired by the Jugendstil movement (the German equivalent of Art Nouveau) and Mucha in particular. Julia Stegner stars as Mucha's flowing-haired maiden in a series of nature settings.

While the shots are quite dark compared to the lively colours often used by Mucha, the outfits featured are floaty and romantic matching the dreamy feel of his works.
