Serenity and natural sensuality anchor this Alexi Lubomirski editorial ’ Pure Schönheit’ (pure beauty), framing Katrin Thormann & Kristy Kaurova sampling the slow living good life in Vogue Germany’s February 2011 issue.

Christiane Arp selects styles from Hugo Boss, Marc Hacobs, Bottega Veneta and others to help Lubomirski communicate the basic tenets of the slow living movement: living in harmony with humanity and nature.

Core concepts of slow living include re-inventing the art of simple living, prioritizing ties to family, friends and community, and creating leisure time but reducing demand for material goods.

We have a proliferation of what Anne classifies as “slow living” editorials in February fashion and style press. Alexi Lubomirski’s ’ Pure Schönheit’ for Vogue Germany is strikingly lush and sensual in its emphasis on simplicity and the sensuality of simple pleasures.
