/Model Frida Aasen rules the fashion universe, styled by Anna Castan for this voluminous set of images in Grazia International 14. It seems possible that a single photographer shoots these ‘Exhibition’ issues.
“Private Collector X Frida Aasen” suggests that perhaps Frida’s husband Tommy Chiabra commissioned them.
In the case of Gomez, I’ve always raved about his Instagram [IG] which is a feast for eyes that thrive on sensual beauty. AOC is pleased to see him shooting so many fragrance and beauty campaigns these days. Working with producer/creative director Jean-Marc Mondelet [website] seems to have been a good choice for this talented photographer. / Hair by Jean-Luc Amarin
