The creative duo consisting of Yolanda x Alex approached us after having found inspiration in the height of Persian literature: The Conference of the Birds. A poem by the Islamic mystic Fariduddin Attar. Needless to say we were intrigued how this result could look, well aware of fashion’s past highlights when mingling with airborne creatures – Lee McQueen’s 1995 collection titled The Birds for example. We dare say one of the best in his career. While tirelessly researching German models for our newest issue ACHTUNG 51: Das Model, we were happy to reconnect with Paula Schuster from Munich, who has had a couple of ACHTUNG shoots in the past, never as feathered as this though.
