Shades for Days for Fashionsing.com

A scene made of busy streets, intense traffic and a massive sea of people walking side-by-side even though their destinations are set at poles apart. In the midst of them all, somewhere in the heart of New York City, a beautiful Anna Cariad plays it effortless, her nonchalance seemingly unaffected, her off-duty outfits fitted to mirror the uncomplicated kind of sexy.

Behind the lens is Simon Ackerman, ready to take the pulse of the city as he follows his muse for the day – her rocking cool shades and short-shorts, feeling pretty and looking decidedly so.

Endless Motions

Perhaps it’s a delicate set of features shielded by a sharp, tailored suit, or a gesture so feminine at heart that it is nearly impossible to lose in a masculine translation; as it may be all about an inborn gentleness that gets toughened up by bits and pieces of menswear inspiration, or a severe attitude tamed by the most beautiful expression. Endless motions get to be rewritten with Simon Ackerman behind the camera, as he appears ready to use powerful contrasts in order to fully disclose hidden emotions.

Cinematic in all of its confined sense of luxury, the reimagining of the dandy girl is never to be done without the imminent collision of past and present. Her timeless portrait, impeccably styled by Tracy Michael, talks just as much about today’s modern aesthetic, as it does about the brave women of yesterday, who understood men’s clothing better than men themselves.
