I didn't find myself overly excited about W's cover with Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks this month (although Julia's cheekbones are always mesmerising) but when I had a flick through the issues contents on The Fashion Spot I was blown away. Mostly by Tim Walker's photos of Scarlett Johansson.
Most magazines shoot celebrities in the latest trends against a white wall. This is fine, but not too inspiring. W never do that, which is why I love them so much. For her W editorial Scarlett posed in many different costumes until the point where she is barely recognisable. Clearly Tim Walker + Hollywood movie star = quality shoot.
And I'm sure most of you have by now heard the really sad news that super-stylist Alex White is leaving W. She is one of my favourite stylists ever and is pretty much the main reason I love W magazine. Edward Enninful is set to take over her role, and hopefully we'll get to hear of White's next move soon.
You can see all of Scarlett's W editorial over at wmagazine.com.
Do you think the combination of Scarlett and Tim Walker works well?

ReplyDeleteI would have never recognised her, she looks weird. I prefer Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts! x
ReplyDeleteWow, I would never recognise her :) Interesting stylization. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning editorial, largely because she's so unrecognisable in the best possible way. I've never read W, but I really should start!

Stunning shoot! Such an offbeat and interesting portrayal of Scarlett. Will be interesting to see how Edward Enninful makes his mark on W...

i love anything tim walker touches!!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! That's Scarlet Johansson? That's insane! I love the first one the best. Very Marlene Deitrich.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognise her!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is amazing, very 30's, not sure about the others... I guess it shows her versatility, after all those pinkish perfume ads, and other ads she's been doing.
i normaly don't like her.But these pics are stuning :)
