Dark Forest Fairy.
Certain fashion stories lend themselves to pile on the clothes. Photographer Michael Ullrich had the idea to do a night shoot in the forest. Yes, so it’s really a Black Forest. We immediately called up our former fashion director and now consultant to our editor Katharina Baresel-Bofinger who can give a cool spin to layering. Ebner and Baresel-Bofinger met while studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in the 90’s and have been a team ever since. Enjoy how MCM, Versace, Thom Browne or Talbot Runhof bring light to the night with our forest fairy Maike Inga.
Here is further proof of Baresel-Bofinger’s layering skills form Upstate New York’s Berlin with Ralph Mecke.
