The collaboration I've been promising for awhile with my extremely talented friend Betina du Toit. So excited to share these pics, Betina and I both model for the same agency and recently she has picked up her camera again (which I was ecstatic about). Over a couple glasses of wine (well bottles actually) we conceptualized this shoot and I couldn't be happier with the result. I will be posting more of her recent work so watch this space... Hope you love it x o x o Klaudia

swept away

 

So it's been awhile (again) work and class seem to get the better of me (every time) but soon I will have my Saturdays back again so that I can get back to shooting etc etc. Since my last shoot and those delicious ice cream pastels (plus one or two other influences - like Chris Viljoen's 'roomys fabriek' Pinterst board here), I have become mildly obsessed with all things that involve candy floss colours (add to that my increased desire for pink locks). So of course I just had to share this beautiful editorial from Vogue Japan by fashion ed Giovanna Battaglia lensed by Josh Olins featuring a perfect duo of Jourdan Dunn & Daria Strokus. I LOVE the styling pairing the two together, but most of all I love the first outfit featured above, I don't even know where to start so we'll leave it at that. Last of all I'm left feeling very inspired with the moodiness of these images so refreshing compared to the usual tropical island cliche'.
That's enough rambling from me for now, I will be sharing (exclusively) the latest work by my extremely talented 'MAW' friend as well as a project we worked on together a couple weeks ago and last but not least I will be launching 'the maw I want' jewelry collection end next week so stay posted. x o x o Klaudia

I haven't posted some of my own work for awhile, work has been incredibly busy leaving little time for play, but here are some shots from a test that I did a few weeks back with the beautiful Tania Bester from Faith Models. Make Up & Hair by Sam Wickham. Photos by Me (Klaudia D.) x x

p.s.: I did a fun collaboration with the amazing Betina du Toit which we will be sharing at the end of this week, so stay posted x x x

pin it

As a graphic designer I'm a huge fan of moodboards, pin boards, inspiration boards, you name it, I (probably) love it! So of course I have become slightly addicted to Pinterest! Plus I'm moving this week to my new apartment and have found so much inspiration for Home decor that I don't know where to begin! Here are some of my boards and what I'm currently loving, follow 'the MAW you wish for' here and here x o x o

all in the details

A few of my favourite looks from New York Fashion Week Ready to Wear Fall 2012, I'm loving the attention to detail. Altazurra (1&2) and Herve Leger (3&4) were by far my favourite collections with an abundance of fringing and beading. Jason Wu, Jill Stuart, Oscar De La Renta and Proenza Schouler (4-8) also had some key pieces that really stood out for me. Another trend that really stood out for me is the abundant use of fur especially in the collection of Micheal Kors - love love love! Looking forward to catching up on London Fashion Week now. K x
