The model guru. Cameron Alborzian was born in 1967, from english mother and iranian father. Between the late eighties and the early nineties he was a top model, that many of you maybe remember for Madonna’s videoclip Express Yourself. Then Cameron took an interest in natural medicine and became yoga and reflexology instructor, graduating in New York. In 2003 he moved to India, in Coimbatore, where he increased and improved his knowledge. He contributes to Huffington Post and during the years he writes for several newspapers, from The New York Times to The Times of London. I think that if today he meets Ms. Ciccone, he wouldn’t be shaken. The greatness of Cameron is a mirage for the main part of us.

The decade of black and minimalism. Of techno-fashion. The undisputed protagonist of that era and trend: Prada. Ph. Davide Cernuschi, Styling Alessandro Calascibetta.

In the decade of tech-fashion there was a huge use of fabric from sportswear, even the silk of parachutes, as in the case of the overalls in this picture. The neon light chosen by Davide Cernuschi made the garment’s colour cooler, and the background – a simple composition of solids and wings – gave an abstract feeling to the picture.
