In an industry that prides itself on pushing the boundaries, subtlety is often overlooked in the scramble for the latest McQueen armadillo shoes or Emma Summerton's most shocking new editorial. Koray Birand is proof that one doesn't need Steven Meisel's bondage, Terry Richardson's lewdness, or Mert and Marcus's technicolor world to make a statement, because sometimes a whisper has more impact. This masterpiece is vintagey yet modern, decadent yet sparse. It's glamour without vulgarity, emotion without artifice. In other words, exactly what fashion should be.
