The Stunning Art of Gemma Land; Metamorphosis, A Photographic Series

Fusing photographic art with fashion, award-winning British artist Gemma Land draws inspiration from architecture, using symmetry to create impossible structures and hallucinogenic patterns. Her aesthetic lies between the romantic and gothic, with stunning imagery. Gemma is keen to push the boundaries of photographic print in fashion and exhibit her artwork in galleries around the world.

Gemma Land's first collection, Bourgeois Utopias, features digitally printed black-and-white images of English suburban houses. Her second collection of print silk scarves is a series of monochrome and color prints of London's much-loved Strawberry Hill House. Printed with the finest quality and hand finished in Britain, the Strawberry Hill collection features Land's unique style, fusing her photographic art with the function of scarves.

Gemma Land is one to watch: she has won recently the Wolf & Badger Graduate Design award and she was shortlisted at the 2011 Fashioning The Future Awards.

For the Strawberry Hill collection, the artist collaborated with film-maker Xu Ming Long Tong to create a set of images inspired by Land's designing methods. The results are these stunning metamorphic shapes.

Azzedine Alaia in the 21st Century

Tunisian-born Azzedine Alaia is one of the most important fashion designers of the last decades. Nicknamed the "King of Cling" Alaia practically invented the stretch mini, Lycra cycling shorts and the bodysuit that became inspiration to high street fashion design. His creations are considered by many to be the sexiest, trendiest, and most utterly original clothes produced by any contemporary designer. His tight dresses embrace the bodies of the world's most seductive and successful women.
Alaia's talent and reputation, spread largely by word of mouth, has won him the adoration of an extraordinary suite of faithful clients, among them Naomi Campbell, Tina Turner, Michelle Obama and Madonna.

From December 11, 2011 to May 6, 2012, the Groninger Museum will present the exhibition entitled Azzedine Alaia in the 21st century. This exhibition displays the most fantastic Alaia fashion creations of the last ten years, and focuses on various materials the designer has consistently used over the past decade: velvet, fur, wool, leather, cotton, animal skins, chiffon and knitwear.
A monograph will be published to accompany the exhibition compiled by curator Mark Wilson.

Hassan Hajjaj: Spring-Summer collection 2018, a photographic series

Hassan Hajjaj's photographic world draws its power and vitality from his personal history. A child of the 1960s, he grew up in Morocco and went on to discover London and its dazzling art scene. Former music promoter and music video producer, Hajjaj also designed a line of fashion accessories and opened RAP, a  ready-to-wear boutique that became a fashion hub in in the 1980s. He drew on all this experience to create installations and decors full of his fascination with the flamboyant, organized chaos of Arab souks.

Hassan Hajjaj's photographic series whose meticulous mises en scene betray an admiration for Samuel Fosso, Malik Sidibe and David La Chapelle. In these images from Marrakech, he plays on the sophisticated codes of fashion circles and music videos. He succeeded in turning young, heavily veiled and jellaba-clad women into magazine icons and hip-hop stars. The photographs, looking at first glance like Orientalist fantasies, use humor and derision to exploit the ambiguities and contradictions implied by the veil and traditional dress. Kitschy and highly colored, subversive and outlandish, Hassan Hajjaj's images put crucial questions about the way East and West see each other, and about cultural exchange between them.

Hassan Hajjaj has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Morocco, London and the Middle East. In 2009, he was one of the eight finalists in the Victoria & Albert Museum's Jameel Prize for Islamic art. He divides his time between London and Marrakech.

Gallery of Rococo Portraits: Hip-Hop Star meets 18th-century Courtesans

Powerful female figures have always been a source of inspiration for the 40-year-old Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli. Through film, performance, and images often enhanced with lavish embroidered garments, Vezzoli links contemporary icons to historic representations of women in art. He transformed actress Eva Mendes into Bernini's masterpiece The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa for his Prada Foundation installation this year's Venice Biennale and, for MOCA's 30th anniversary gala in 2009, he remained Lady Gaga as a latter-day Ballets Russes star.
For the November issue of W Magazine, Vezzoli has remade hip-hop star Nicki Minaj (known as Lil Wayne protégée) as an 18th-century courtesan.
