The Ever Changing Face of Beauty by Solve Sundsbo

The Ever Changing Face of Beauty by Solve Sundsbo is probably one of the most aesthetically appealing editorials I’ve seen in a long time! For the March issue of  W Magazine, Lara Stone is cut into four pieces and juxtaposed against men, animals and  nature. The stylist Marie Chaix beautifully shows spring latest trends in each picture defined as ‘Bright Ideas’, ‘Flower Power’, ‘Inside Out’, ‘Ancient Secret’ and ‘His and Hers’.

“My new agent said, ‘Why aren’t you using your family name? It’s a real attention-grabber.’ I worried, ‘How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?’ But then I decided that’s not my problem.”
