Lily Kwong | Elle Muliarchyk | 'Girl on Bear Rug' |T c.2011
/NYTimes T’s Horacio Silva writes about Lily Kwong that she, photographer friend Elle Mulliarchyk, and stylists Laura Jones and Felicia Garcia-Rivera were inspired by Old Masters paintings — everything from light to the gestures — when they planned this fashion editorial. David Lynch movies enter the photographic vision as well. “We really wanted to marry the two.” says Kwong.
The team succeeds in crafting a beautifully relevant Old Master vision, with a cross or two for contemporary relevance. The dialogue around female sensuality and male power grows lounder.
