Marloes Horst | Alexander Neumann | Vogue Mexico October 2011 | 'La Nueva Lady'
/
Photographer Alexander Neumann dramaticizes ‘La Neuva Lady’ as Lauren Bacall would have it in ‘Casablanca’, and not Sarah Jessica Parker in ‘Sex and the City’. Marloes Horst is not promoting princess power but strong woman reassurance in her Vogue Mexico’s October beauty supplement, styled by Michelle Cameron in Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel and others.
It’s been written that Marloes is expressing ‘angelic innocence’ in some of the images. Sorry, my dear, this is frank, femme power from beginning to end — and yes, respectability reigns.
Being a true lady and angelic innocence are not found in the same woman in my playbook. Ladies have a confident world view that may or may not include her (wo)man; angels are looking to be rescued by Prince Charming. This is why Jessica Sarah Parker proudly reminds us that she never had sex once on ‘Sexy and the City’. Anne Dramatic makeup looks by Alexa Rodulfo; classic hair by Tuan Anh Tran.
