Lately, we’ve seen a trend in fashion shoots where clothing is optional. Not that type of photo shoot, but ones where artistry meets reality. We’ve seen pin up models dressed in splashed milk. There are models painted in light. Some models are wearing plastic everyday objects. Now there are models dressed in…well, Sharpie.
Luca Meneghel’s “Into the Mirror” Photo Series
Italian Photographer, Luca Meneghel has released a whimsical photo series titled, “Into the Mirror.” Using illustrator Norma Nardi’s drawn couture creations, Meneghel’s model, Nasty Bugriy wears nude underwear and stands in front of a mirror in the forest. The result is a fairy tale-like, ethereal portrait.

FCUK’s “From Sketch to Store” Campaign
In more “Models Dressed in Sharpie” news, FCUK, or French Connection UK, a clothing brand, launched their Autumn/Winter 2013 campaign, “From Sketch to Store” back in August. The models were shot completely nude and Jelly illustrator, Jo Bird sketched the outfits on them. The models were then photographed with the actual pieces from the collection. This edgy campaign, reminds us of FCUK’s self described “fearless attitude” when it comes to their branding and marketing efforts as seen in previous campaigns.
