The latest issue of Dutch magazine Glamcult features an interview with Ohne Titel, a new fashion label from New York. Sabrina Bongiovanni created some powerful images around the interview (which can be read and seen here).

Ohne Titel was started by two designers, Alexa Adams and Flora Gill. With their designs, they want to bring out the strong personalities of the women wearing them.

The cover of Het Parool’s PS van de Week was graced by a photograph Sabrina Bongiovanni took of Maxim Hartman. She was responsible for the photography accompanying the interview with him as well. Maxim is appropriately dressed as a silly Don Juan with cowboy boots, banana guns and a dressing gown, talking about his love for women (not one in particular).

Merry Christmas?

For the Christmas cover of VRPO magazine, Krista van der Niet was asked to create a Christmas-related image.

She made a Christmas tree with a single ornament: a grenade. The grenade symbolises the feelings of stress and tension Christmas time can bring, as opposed to the cliché images you often see this time of year. Also, it stands for the troubled times and wars going on in various places in the world.

Serge Lutens Cityscape

In the column ‘Object of Desire’, creatives cleverly reinterpret AnOther Magazine’s most desired objects of the season. This time, AnOther Magazine has asked Yvonne Lacet to create an image using the make-up line by Serge Lutens. The result is a beautiful, urban landscape built with paper and items from Lutens’s collection. The products Lutens has created are quite heavy, which creates an interesting contrast with the lightness of the paper.
