From the Team
PUBLISHER
Another month has lown past, and again we’ve been blown away by the support we’ve received from all around the world with our third issue of Vertiqlè Magazine. he whole team is incredibly grateful and humbled by the feedback and acknowledgements we’ve been getting.
Growing statistics are one thing, but such growth can only come about by publishing content that speaks to people – content which by way of its artistic beauty, its technical brilliance, its embedded social message, or even simply because it pushes a boundary.
his month, we feature works from Austria to Australia, Belarus to Brazil, the United States to the United Kingdom. In all seventeen diferent countries on ive diferent continents. he level of interest shown has reinforced in our minds the universality of black and white photography, and the emotional connection it makes with people everywhere. Likewise, our readership continues to grow, both in number and location. Our website which features previews of every editorial is now being visited regularly by people in fortyseven diferent countries – including those we least expected to have visitors from.
We settled on nineteen editorials this month. Each editorial meets one or more of those criteria, while at the same time relecting the sheer beauty of black and white photography. We’ll let you work out which criteria go with which editorial. We’re already curating the November and December issues, and we’ll be applying the same criteria again. In the meantime, enjoy the October issue. We hope you love it as much as we do! Until next time ... the Team @ Vertiqlè

Who’s that
girl ? Let’s Talk. Emma McCluskey
T
here’s something immediately captivating about Emma McCluskey. The nineteen-year old Australian model has all the physical characteristics of the next petite supermodel – deep blue eyes, tanned complexion, great smile and seemingly disproportionately long legs for someone just under the modelling industry’s arbitrary minimum of 5’7”. Though what captivates you is beyond her natural beauty. It’s her confidence and grace, her charm and sincerity that instantly stand out. Emma still calls the coastal town where she was born and raised home. It’s a two-hour drive north of Sydney where she grew up with her younger sister, where the sandy beaches of the Australia’s Pacific coast run for hundreds of miles in both directions. The beach was, and is still today, her backyard and playground, from which you get the sense of a carefree upbringing when speaking with her. Though perfectly comfortable shooting frames in a bikini on a beach, she also enjoys submerging herself in the creative aspects of shooting conceptual editorials. While her high cheekbones and narrow jawline make her a makeup artist’s perfect canvas, it’s the attitude and emotion that Emma brings to the finished images that make them memorable; and there’s no better test of a model’s ability to create that impact and connection than through black and white. Take away the colour - the tones and the hues - and you’re left with only that which can be interpreted from the emotions portrayed. Having modelled briefly in her younger years, she’s put her university studies in design on hold to pursue new opportunities to grow her modelling career. While the modelling industry has begun opening its doors to prospective models who don’t fit the stereotypical mold of 6’ tall and size 0, it still turns away those of average height – something Emma is determined to change. 46 OCTOBER 2019
“The more knock backs I get due to height, the more determined it makes me to succeed in this business,” says Emma. Currently working on a freelance basis, her experiences have so far been positive. “I have been very lucky so far to work with some great teams of creative people … I do really love doing creative editorial shoots that are so far away from the reality of my normal look. It’s so great to watch the creativity of a whole team come to fruition.” We chat briefly about black and white, and the current season’s inclusion of black and white by iconic labels such as Celine, Dior and Alexander McQueen – not just in their designs, but also in their marketing. “I think there is something amazingly timeless and beautiful about black and white images. I love the shadows, contrast, and moodiness you get with black and white. Coming from an interior design background, I guess I have an appreciation for these things and why I feel so privileged to be featured in this magazine.” Next year, Emma will be all about travelling and gaining as much international experience and exposure as possible. Her itinerary includes the South Pacific and the US before an extended visit to Europe. An amazing, captivating model with the world at her feet. We can’t wait to see her portfolio in twelve months’ time!

Who’s that
girl ? Let’s Talk. Kristen Kostic
J
ust back from her round the world travels and with her wanderlust temporarily subdued, twenty-five year old Australian model and designer, Kristen Kostic, is back at work in Melbourne shooting commercial and editorial assignments. Kristen is the exception to the rule – though just 5’2” tall, the stunning brunette with Greek and Serbian heritage was signed by leading Australian commercial modelling agency WINK in 2018. Her recent assignment with the Australian Diamond Company has triggered a desire to do more commercial work with beauty and jewellery brands. Lingerie and swimwear shoots remain a favourite for the petite model, not least because she is herself a talented swimwear designer. Having made the final of the 2019 Maxim Australian Swimwear Model of the Year competition, she modelled her own designs during both swimwear photoshoots and catwalk parades. We chat briefly about black and white, and the current season’s inclusion of black and white by iconic labels such as Celine and Armani – not just in their designs, but also in their marketing. “I love working in black and white. It’s so classic, so elegant. It will never date.”

A seasoned traveller, it seems Kristen is most at home when away. “My last trip was spontaneous. I was thinking about going to North and South America solo, but then my childhood best friend suggested Europe. We ended up doing a month in Europe together before I did the next month of my trip solo. From Europe to Mexico, then Mexico to the States. The whole thing was surreal and the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on!”
106 OCTOBER 2019
“The Greek Islands were a highlight, though I could be biased, and Mexico was so exotic and different to anywhere I’ve been!” Next year is likely to be just as busy for the experienced model. Any opportunity to combine her passion for travel, modelling and fashion design will invariably prove too hard to resist. ***
