V53 PREVIEW: IN YOUR DREAMS


No matter what's going on in the world, fashion somehow always swings back to the extremes. This season, it's maximalism—big hair, big money, big dresses—and Argentine photographer Sebastian Faena spared no excess to shoot the finest girls of the moment in all the gilt and glam. For V53, Faena flew down to Miami's Vizcaya (the palatial Coconut Grove villa built to look like a 16th-century Renaissance mansion) to shoot Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, and Doutzen Kroes in the most lavish threads around. The result is a story about pure, unadulterated, over-the-top, so-bad-it's-good glamour—and a fitting ode the more-is-more era of the '90s supermodels.
