Florentina Leitner opened the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) at Berlin's Kraftwerk with her show with around 200 live guests attending. The young designer showed her spring/summer 2022 collection from her London label of the same name as part of the Mercedes-Benz Young Talent Promotion Programme. The inspiration for Leitner's spring/summer 2022 collection "Vacation on the Moon" is the Mondsee lake in Austria and her vision of designing the collection for a holiday on the moon. The silhouettes are inspired by dirndls, sailor jackets and spacesuits. The colour palette is defined by metallic silver tones and a mix of summery colours like pink and various shades of blue. Florentina Leitner is a Master's graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. The Austrian was on Dries van Noten's design team before setting up her own label in London. Stars like Kylie Jenner, Lady Gaga and Charli XCX have worn her creations. In February 2021 she presented her autumn/winter 2021 collection "The Royal Leitners" at the digital New York Fashion Week.

One of our Pantone Colors of the Season yellow Daffodil shimmers on a bucket hat that is more flower than pail, and matches a pleated skirt that is more power than pale. The look its tied in true gogo style with boots that are made for walking all over Manhattan and a graphic print crop top.

Fashion designer and photographer Chris Bailey IV skillfully carves the scene by blocking out a central focal point in strategically illuminated solid black textiles chosen for this model’s hat and dress that are framed on either side by converging lines of colorful chaos. This style is brimming with cozy new ways to unlock your wardrobe while staying true to classic black and timeless pearls amidst a rainbow-sea of neon and LEDs. A shaggy faux stole scares the shivers away while adding textural interest. This looks is completed by matchy white painted talons and commanding red lips.

TAKING A GRAND STEP INTO THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF BLACK AND WHITE
GRAY MATTER MODEL CARLEY BECK PHOTOS AND CLOTHES BY BAILEY.IV
PAGE 43 | THEME
The world is not made up of just black and white anymore. It is made up of individual moments known as gray matter. We’re childhood innocence used to teach us that they were simple things such as black and white good and evil. Where the playground was all the adventure that you needed in this life. At some point you knew you were going to grow up.

PEONY • 4
At some point you’ve told yourself your dream of becoming whatever you wanted to become in life. But as the days go by and as innocence gets taken away layer by layer. Second by second. As you watch the pages of the calendar continue to fall onto the floor you will see that in some sort of way there is an erosion to what she used to believe. Everything has a reason for everything
PAGE 48 | THEME
which has a reason for everything. Your childhood is now lost to the eventuality of adulthood. No longer is there just good and evil. No longer is there just black and white. For a lot of the pillars of Adulting were held up by egos in lies. And the only thing you have to judge any matter for that matter is gray.

THE POWEROF WIDE ANGLES Am I job of being a fashion photographer i’m usually making portrait style photos as my primary method of shooting. I often forget how important it is to still take a wide angle shot. When I first learned how to operate a camera, I learn to do landscape mode more than portrait. The idea was to take as much of the environment as possible. But then
PAGE 51 | THEME
-once I got into fashion, It was all about taking shots of models. And due to that fact I kind of let my landscape style fall to the wayside. But I’m starting to see the great benefits once again in shooting landscape style otherwise known as white angle. Wide-angle is an amazing tool to have in your photography toolbox if you know what you’re doing. The shots that I was able to pull off in an editorial by using white angle is absolutely better than the shots I would use in portrait mode.
“Love them wideangle shots”
