Photos and Illustatrations © Cecilie Engberg / Stone sculpture by Christoph Weber

Right now I’m preparing for getting the shop here on Highly Dazed up and running. Among the things we’ll be selling are my own illustrations with a frame following along as well. Stay tuned!

I hope you’ve all had a lovely summer – I have certainly enjoyed relaxing and taking it nice and slow.

Faux/Real has created these sculptural and nicely-textured jewelry pieces inspired by an uncommon subject – the gym. I find that projects taking starting point from an inspiration source that one firstly wouldn’t think relevant, turn out to be the most material-rich and original. I like the mix of the textures extending from the hard almost cement-looking material and the cold metal to the soft rubber and robe.

In this editorial “La Mer, qu’on voit danser..” photographed by Stefan Milev, it all comes together in a higher unit for me – how the light is, the way the photos have been processed and how the setup almost creats a feeling of watching a film, a universe where the deserted beach is whispering that weird things happens here.

Not to forget the styling. It’s a perfect mix of minimalistic yet quite artistic and different styling, where a touch of it is making me think of the beginning of the 1900′s where Europeans traveled in Africa and Asia. A time where some women dressed like men, practical and layered. Another reference I get is the designer Matthew Ames. He creates his clothes with a focus on silhouettes, minimalistic expression through the simple fabrics and cuts and with a perfect balance between the feminine and masculine elements.

Anyhow, go check out the other works of Stefan Milev, he’s very talented and a personal favorite among fashion photographers. Enjoy, Cecilie.E
