Richard Burbridge Captures 12 VS Stunners In 'Angels Pleasure Fluid' For 10 Magazine SS 2017
What do you get when you combine twelve Victoria’s Secret stunners, one legendary fashion photographer and our very own Editrix-in-Chief Sophia Neophitou? Our Victoria’s Secret Centrefold, that’s what. Yes, found slap bang in the latest issue of 10 Magazine (on newsstands now) all the girls – Alanna Arrington, Stella Maxwell, Jasmine Tookes, Sara Sampaio, Grace Elizabeth, Josephine Skriver, Cindy Bruna, Martha Hunt, Elsa Hosk, Maria Borges, Lily Donaldson and Dilone – in glorious pull-out double page form. The bigger the better, we say. And here, in one place, to whet your appetite, those images, snapped by Richard Burbridge.
As Sophia, who styled the shoot, says: “I loved the idea of initiating a discussion about these modern day super models, creating a stand-alone section in the magazine that offers a unique physical experience, as well as a unique visual experience. We have created huge pull out gatefolds in the issue to give a ‘centerfold’ to each girl. The images were created by legendary photographer Richard Burbridge, and with his almost hyper-real quality he has captured every girl in all of their athleticism, celebrating their strength. Every muscle, every tension, is captured- athletes at the top of their game.”

Artists born in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are stunned by US President Donald Trump's executive order halting entry to the US by natives of these seven majority-Muslim Middle Eastern and African nations.
"About half of the visas given in these countries were given to Iranians last year," according to the Washington Post. Several artists spoke to ArtNet News.
The irony of the situation for these artists is that many are banned and blacklisted in their own countries for opposition to repressive governments.
Nicky Nodjoumi, an Iranian artist living in New York since 1961, holds a green card, which grants him the status of lawful permanent resident. “You come to a new country for freedom and now they want to ban you,” said Nodjoumi, who is blacklisted in his own country after his own activism against oppressive regimes there, he explained in a phone call. “It’s scary and at the same time ironic, and we can only ask, What the hell is going on?”
