Admittedly the sounds of  “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and Stanley Kubrick’s movie “2001 Space Odyssey” are favorite artistic inspirations of mine.  We adore this Harper’s Bazaar China Aug. 2010 fashion editorial “Fly Me to the Moon” and video that tap into the futuristic zeitgeist and also a vision of new Asian beauty, one that challenges Western standards. See original photos here on Benjamin Kanarek Blog.

There is a minor fashion industry, blogger brouhaha brewing around Benjamin Kanarek’s “Fly Me to the Moon” video and editorial, which was not chosen for exposure by one of the leading fashion scan blogs. Editorial decisions always belong with the website owner, and we can’t begin to cover all the materials we would love to write about here at Anne of Carversville and Sensuality News. 

Benjamin Kanarek’s Making of “Fly Me to the Moon”

In the case of photographer Benjamin Kanarek’s “Fly me to the Moon” editorial for Harper’s Bazaar China Aug 2010, it seems that a mistake has been made.

Both the image editorial and accompanying video are an artistic revelation, and we want to offer our unwavering support of this premium-quality creativity in fashion imagery and messages. 

Evidence of an editorial shakeout in fashion blogging is emerging, and we’re seeing a fault line developing between creatives who have something to say, and those who don’t. The standard scan fare will soon be separated from the gourmet offering of photos with thoughtful commentary or comment dialogue.
