When Lisa Schuil (a stylist whose work we’ve featured many times) puts pen to paper, the outcome is rather quirky and very different. Branching out into design, she’s created a t-shirt range under the brand name Renabla: the designs are simple sketches, but they certainly beg your eye to look twice. A cute line-drawn cat could be a woman’s naked body in Schuil’s world, if…

Complex, fusing the conservative subtext with lust and desire, but above all telling a story of rare sensibility, Nicoline Patricia Malina’s editorial for Harpers Bazaar is art and then some. Imprinted in the clothes, carried by each and one of the breathable elements building the theme, veiled in romance but still obvious, the taste of forbiddance is explored through passion and awareness.

The delicate beauty of couture wedding gowns (made by Nicky Vankets) perfectly complements the beauty of an opulent French interior. But when the wallpaper is peeling and the plasterwork crumbling, you wouldn’t likely put your fanciest of gowns on while you climb the ladder to do your renovation work.

Some things are – and will likely always be – synonymous with seduction. Black lace, high heeled shoes, full lips and fuller hair. Michel Zoeter took that theme – Seduction – and dedicated a photoshoot to it, amping up the sensuality volumes to unapologetic levels.

If you’re stung by a little bee of nostalgia when you view Dennis Veldman‘s latest work, it won’t just be because of the back-to-nature forest setting, or the romantic soft curls sported by model Felice Veen. What you’ll instead be picking up on is that different quality to the images, a quality that comes from the fact that these photos arrive to you by way…

Photographer Dennis Veldman is going from strength to strength. His latest work, a shoot titled Body Language starring gorgeous model Chloe Corbeau, is a flawlessly photographed series that captures the effectiveness of statement jewellery when paired with clean lines and modern classic pieces. Lisa Schuil‘s slick hair and minimalist makeup are the perfect accompaniment to her styling.

Applying the major colour trends for fall 2010 to makeup affords many options: from the natural beauty of earthy tones and neutrals, to the exotic looks created by blocking bright jewel tones together in unique combinations. For this shoot, gorgeously photographed by Dennis Veldman, makeup artist Lisa Schuil plays with both of these ideas, bringing even richly coloured brows into the mix.

The black widow spider gets her name from her (occasional) propensity to eat her male partner after mating. We expect that the black widow in Dennis Veldman‘s garden, however, is so named less for her post-lovemaking etiquette and more for her short black hairstyle and propensity to capture a male’s attention by doing her gardening work in slinky black gowns, heels, and bikinis. ‘There’s a…
