CR Fashion Book: High Performance
By Montse Ocejo
A dramatic beauty look exaggerated for the stage. A visual expression of character and emotion. A performer caught between spectator and spectacle. This is Carine Roitfeld's editorial "High Performance" for the second issue of CR Fashion Book.
The combination of the photography and the models made this a very mysterious editorial, the entire spread is shot in black-and-white with gray undertones with a really delicate contrast.
The editorial opens the doors to the past era of the early 20s in the time of the pioneers of Expressionist dance, this dancer explores the depth of the human physique and the shadows of the soul.
In these images by Sara Vanderbeek the models are dressed in classic pieces that flow with their movements, the photos capture the perfect moment, each expression is unique, each angle of the makeup and clothes combines perfectly with the body angles.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” ― MARTHA GRAHAM
Carine reminds us with this editorial that the greatest and most important thing in art is passion, that we should not be afraid to embrace and exaggerate the beauty to make everything unique, to use the reflection of our own shadows and dance with them to make a high performance.
